He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves,

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.

After God spoke long ago in various portions and in various ways to our ancestors through the prophets,

but of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and a righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.

Instead someone testified somewhere: “What is man that you think of him or the son of man that you care for him?

So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, who said to him, “You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,”

Without father, without mother, without genealogy, he has neither beginning of days nor end of life but is like the son of God, and he remains a priest for all time.

For the law appoints as high priests men subject to weakness, but the word of solemn affirmation that came after the law appoints a son made perfect forever.

By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped as he leaned on his staff.

If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides in him and he in God.

Now who is the person who has conquered the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

So Jesus answered them, “I tell you the solemn truth, the Son can do nothing on his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.

Then the crowd responded, “We have heard from the law that the Christ will remain forever. How can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

(The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.)

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us insight to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life.

“Look! The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call him Emmanuel,” which means “God with us.”
