2 Corinthians 5:6

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”

Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.

Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

“Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘Yahweh, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you will go up to Yahweh’s house.

You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?

The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

But you be strong, and don’t let your hands be slack; for your work will be rewarded.”

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.

The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.

Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.

“I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”

(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)

He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.

to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.

There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.

They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

You are witnesses of these things.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad.”

If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

However you did well that you shared in my affliction.

But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn’t receive the promise,

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.

I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

I have waited for your salvation, Yahweh.

“ ‘The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.

Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?

You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for Yahweh is with you.’ ”

“Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

Behold, you have made my days hand widths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.”

But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.

Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh.

Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.

When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,

Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.

But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

Whereas you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.”

Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. They have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”

For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

“Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry. Don’t be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

I am a stranger on the earth. Don’t hide your commandments from me.

In the fear of Yahweh is a secure fortress, and he will be a refuge for his children.

For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,

Rabshakeh said to them, “Now tell Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.

Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.

If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,

Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed.

I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
