When he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.—By which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.—Christ… will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.—As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.

“The man who stands next to me,” declares the Lord of hosts.

In him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.—“I have granted help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.”—“I have trodden the winepress alone, and from the peoples no one was with me.”

Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh.—To us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…. But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.”… “Let all God's angels worship him.”

King of kings and Lord of lords.
