| As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.1 – Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.2 |
| Since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.3 |
| Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.4 – Christ … shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.5 – As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.6 |
