² Beloved, we are ^(A)God's children ^(B)now, and what we will be ^(C)has not yet appeared; but we know that ^(D)when he appears^{[a] (E)}we shall be like him, because ^(F)we shall see him as he is.

²¹ who will transform ^(A)our lowly body ^(B)to be like his glorious body, ^(C)by the power that enables him even ^(D)to subject all things to himself.

⁴ When Christ ^(A)who is your^[a] life ^(B)appears, then you also will appear with him ^(C)in glory.

¹⁸ And we all, with unveiled face, ^(A)beholding ^(B)the glory of the Lord,^{[a] (C)}are being transformed into the same image ^(D)from one degree of glory to another.^[b] For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

¹² For ^(A)now we see in a mirror dimly, but ^(B)then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as ^(C)I have been fully known.

²⁹ For those whom he ^(A)foreknew he also ^(B)predestined ^(C)to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be ^(D)the firstborn among many brothers.

⁴⁹ Just ^(A)as we have borne the image of the man of dust, ^(B)we shall^[a] also bear the image of the man of heaven.

^4 (A)They will see his face, and ^(B)his name will be on their foreheads.
