For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
