4 This living hope is not subject to decay, destruction, or deterioration in any way. It is completely free from any form of contamination, impurity, or sin and is eternal and unchanging.
5 Already, not yet salvation. We have been saved, are being saved, and will be saved when Christ returns.
6 We greatly rejoice even though we have various trials.
7 We will receive praise, glory, and honor from Jesus if we remain faithful.
8 We greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible.
13 Prepare your minds; Christ is coming back.
14 We are not like everyone else in the world.

22 Sincere, fervent love
25 We are born again by the living and enduring Word of God.
Lovely teaching, thank you.
