So we are always of good courage.
We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from
the Lord .6
for we walk by faith, not by sight .7
In fact, we are confident, and we would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord (2
Corinthians 5:6-8)
===================================================================================
Jesus said, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet
believe (John 20:29)
Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him (John
11:45)
Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed (John
20.8)
So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands
the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I
will never believe (John 20:25)
==================================================================================
who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see, to him
be honor and eternal power. Amen (Timothy 6:16)
Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that
he exists and that he rewards those who seek him (Hebrews 11:6)
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence (Ephesians 3:12)
==================================================================================
not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of
what was being brought to an end (2 Corinthians 3:13)
But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains
unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away (2 Corinthians 3:14)
Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts (2 Corinthians 3:15)
But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed (2 Corinthians 3:16)
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17)
And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same
image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit (2 Corinthians
3:18)
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing (2 Corinthians 4:3)
n their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing
the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God (2 Corinthians 4:4)
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ {2 Corinthians 4:6}
10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our
bodies.
11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may
be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 So death is at work in us, but life in you.
13 Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I
spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak,
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his
presence (2 Corinthians 4.14)
as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen
are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18)
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation (Colossians 1.15)

believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek (Romans 1:16)
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will
live by faith (Romans 1:17)
For his invisible attributes, that is, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the
creation of the world, being understood through what he has made. As a result, people are without
excuse (Romans 1:20)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1)
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made
from things that are not visible (Hebrews 11:3)
By faith he left Egypt behind, not being afraid of the king's anger, for Moses persevered as one who sees
him who is invisible (Hebrews 11:27)

So that at the name of jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth
(Philippians 2.10)

(Corinthians 15.42)
For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused through the law were working in us to bear
fruit for death (Romans 7:5)
But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve
in the newness of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law (Romans 7:6)
I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died
(Romans 7:9)
The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me (Romans 7:10)
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin (Romans 7:14)
Christ died and returned to life for this: that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living (Romans
14:9)

wrath of God remains on him (John 3:36)

darkness but will have the light of life (John 8:12)
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin (John 8:34)
The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever (John 8:35)
So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free (John 8:36)
On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days (John 11:17)
Martha then said to Jesus, 'Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died (John 11:21)
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again” (John 11:23)
Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day" (John 11:24)
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live
(John 11:25)
Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? " (John 11:26)
esus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God? (John 11:40)

these things, he departed and hid himself from them (John 12:36)
Jesus cried out, "The one who believes in me believes not in me, but in him who sent me (John 12:44)
And the one who sees me sees him who sent me (John 12:45)
I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness (John
12:46)
For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a
commandment—what to say and what to speak (John 12:49)
I know that his command is eternal life. So the things that I speak, I speak just as the Father has told me
(John 12:50)
For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he must rise from the dead (John 20:9)
But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by
believing you may have life in his name (John 20:31)
