Blessed {be} the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, {abundant: Gr. much}

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

I charge {thee} therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

May be able to comprehend with all saints what {is} the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
