⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, ^(A)“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see ^(B)the glory of God?”

⁴ But when Jesus heard it he said, ^(A)“This illness does not lead to death. It is for ^(B)the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

²³ Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” ^24 (A)Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in ^(B)the resurrection on the last day.” ²⁵ Jesus said to her, ^(C)“I am the resurrection and ^(D)the life.^[a] Whoever believes in me, ^(E)though he die, ^(F)yet shall he live, ²⁶ and everyone who lives and believes in me ^(G)shall never die. Do you believe this?”

¹⁷ as it is written, ^(A)“I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, ^(B)who gives life to the dead and calls into existence ^(C)the things that do not exist. ¹⁸ In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, ^(D)“So shall your offspring be.” ¹⁹ He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was ^(E)as good as dead (^(F)since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered ^(G)the barrenness^[a] of Sarah's womb. ²⁰ No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, ²¹ fully convinced that ^(H)God was able to do what he had promised. ²² That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” ²³ But ^(I)the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, ²⁴ but for ours also. It will be counted to us ^(J)who believe in ^(K)him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, ^25 (L)who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised ^(M)for our justification.

¹⁴ And ^(A)the Word ^(B)became flesh and ^(C)dwelt among us, ^(D)and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son^[a] from the Father, full of ^(E)grace and ^(F)truth.

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.

²⁰ And they rose early in the morning and went out into ^(A)the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! ^(B)Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.”

⁶ For God, who said, ^(A)“Let light shine out of darkness,” ^(B)has shone in our hearts to give ^(C)the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
