Dear children, remain joined to Christ. Then when he comes, we can be bold. We will not be ashamed to meet him when he comes.

小子们哪，你们要住在主里面。这样，他若显现，我们就可以坦然无惧；当他来的时候，在他面前也不至于惭愧。

小子乎、今宜恆在彼中、迨彼顯著、我儕於其降臨時、可毅然而無愧、

小子乎、當心交乎主、迨主顯著、我可無懼、主既降臨、我亦不愧、

小子乎、爾當恆居主內、使我儕至主顯現、在其降臨之時、得毅然無懼、且可無愧於其前、

總之、望吾小子、常寓基督懷中庶幾於彼重臨之日、吾人得具自信、而不致無顏以對。

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.

And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.

So now, little children, remain in him so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

Now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not draw back from Him in shame at His coming.

Christ is your life. When he appears again, you also will appear with him in heaven’s glory.

My dear children, I’m writing this to you so that you will not sin. But suppose someone does sin. Then we have a friend who speaks to the Father for us. He is Jesus Christ, the Blameless One.

Suppose anyone is ashamed of me and my words among these adulterous and sinful people. Then the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

What is our hope? What is our joy? When our Lord Jesus returns, what is the crown we will delight in? Isn’t it you?

There is no gift of the Holy Spirit that you don’t have. You are full of hope as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come again.

But who can live through the day when he comes? Who will be left standing when he appears? He will be like a fire that makes things pure. He will be like soap that makes things clean.

Obey it until our Lord Jesus Christ appears. Obey it completely. Then no one can find fault with it or you.

In the same way, Christ was offered up once. He took away the sins of many people. He will also come a second time. At that time he will not suffer for sin. Instead, he will come to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Your troubles have come in order to prove that your faith is real. Your faith is worth more than gold. That’s because gold can pass away even when fire has made it pure. Your faith is meant to bring praise, honor and glory to God. This will happen when Jesus Christ returns.

At that time they will say,“ He is our God. We trusted in him, and he saved us. He is the Lord. We trusted in him. Let us be filled with joy because he saved us.”

It is written,“ Look! In Zion I am laying a stone that causes people to trip. It is a rock that makes them fall. The one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”( Isaiah 8:14; 28:16)
