³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

⁴ To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

²⁰ For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

¹³ Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
