Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

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

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

“I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.

Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and crush all the sons of Sheth.

After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,

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

Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”

In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.

It will happen in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”

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

so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News

in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

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

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.
