7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you ^jwait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

7 and to grant ^jrelief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when ^kthe Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven ^lwith his mighty angels

7 so that ^qthe tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes ^rthough it is tested by ^sfire—may be found to result in ^tpraise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Called to Be Holy

13 Therefore, ^gpreparing your minds for action,¹ and ^hbeing sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

13 But rejoice ^ainsofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad ^bwhen his glory is revealed.

27 ^aFor the Son of Man is going to come with ^bhis angels in the glory of his Father, and ^cthen he will repay each person according to what he has done.

44 Therefore you also must be ^tready, for ^uthe Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
