Come, ye blessed of my Father ...
Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 1
"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 2
Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him? 3
and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. 4
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. 5
But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. 6
The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 7
Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. 8
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 9
