Salvation through Born Again
34
refore, we understand by this
that there is also a spiritual body.
18 There is a mortal creation;
therefore, we hope by this that
there is also an immortal creation.
19We are created from dust. Th-
erefore we hope that we are call-
ed to receive the glory.
20 There is a physical and mortal
world; therefore, we look for the
upcoming immortal world.
21 We are groaning in this world
with sin, curse and death. Ther-
efore we hope by the Spirit that
these will not be in the upcoming
glorious world. And we look ea-
gerly for it.
22 We weep in this world, there-
fore, we hope with faith that death
and sorrow will be passed away
in the upcoming world as every
tear is removed from our eyes.
23 The foundations of this world
are shaking. Therefore we know
by this that the foundations of
upcoming world will not be sha-
ken at all.
24 We understand that this wo-
rld is filled with sin and curse. Th-
erefore we hope that upcoming
eternal world is filled with hol-
iness. The fruit of sin and curse
will not be there.
The Salvation is the Gift of God
25 We know that this world is
limited to man’s knowledge. We
hope that the upcoming immortal
world is beyond man’s knowl-
edge.
26 We think that we die here in
this world. Therefore we under-
stand that death will be swall-
owed there in the next world.
27 We work hard and labor
here to eat food. But we hope
that there will not be hunger and
thirst in the upcoming glorious
kingdom.
28 We change clothes and clean
our bodies daily with water here
but we hope that we will inherit
God’s glory and live in the image
of God and waiting in the upco-
ming glorious kingdom,
29 We serve here as His serva-
nts. But we will be ministered
by the angels in the upcoming
glorious world.
30 And we prepare ourselves
to be seated on the thrones.
31 We hope that we see our be-
loved Lord, who shed His holy
blood to defeat death and offer
glory and worship to Him for-
ever more.
32 II Beloved in Christ, I warn
you to intercede in Jesus name
Salvation through Born Again
35
which gives answers to our pra-
yers and confidence to intercede
33 And you should look with
hope and ask according to the
will of God.
34 Resurrection of the Lord
Jesus is the source of our hope.
35 Be a man of peace by having
the fruits of joy. Be a comforter
with one mind.
CHAPTER 5
THE Old Testament believers
had the living hope because
Christ resurrected from the dead.
In the same way, we should have
such hope.
3 We understand that we will rec-
eive the witness by the Lord, the
true witness, like the OT beli-
evers.
4 The testimony, which is given
by the Son of God, is with immo-
rtal hope and it is pure. It leads
us to the exceeding mercy of
God.
5 II We will experience its fruit
completely when the eternal glory
is appeared since we have this
courage and confidence.
6 Let us consecrate the Lord Jes-
us Christ in our hearts and share
the scriptural gospel with gentl-
eness with everyone who asks for
The Salvation is the Gift of God
a reason.
7 Let us help our brothers who
are appointed for the kingdom
of God by explaining about
being born again.
8 II Hope inspires us to be holy.
9 Therefore it became a reason
to see Christ face to face.
10 So if anyone comes to you
with being puffed up in the mor-
tal knowledge and says to you
that there is no life and resur-
rection,
11 then he lacks foresight. He
has no hope in God. Understand
that he rejected the eternal gift
of God.
12 By knowing that scriptures
teaches about the resurrection
of life to the righteous and unri-
ghteous, that is the born again,
and the resurrection of darkness
to the not born again, be careful
that your hope may not fade
away.
13 All the effort of a man is to
overcome death. Therefore the
gracious God has already pro-
mised it to us in Christ.
14 Many do not know what life
is – they roam from one end to
the other by thinking ‘we will die
tomorrow. So let us drink, eat
