and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.
Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
to them that by {Or, stedfastness}patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:
but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:
Now unto the King {Greek: of the ages. Compare Hebrews 1:2; Revelation 15:3.}eternal, {Greek: incorruptible.}immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory {Greek: unto the ages of the ages.}for ever and ever. Amen.
Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that {Greek: is being brought.}is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.
and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire,
so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
