And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

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.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
