Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
