Revelation 1:2

Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

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.

He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.”

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Father’s glory, with the holy angels.”

“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

For there are three who testify:

Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.

They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
