And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
I Corinthians
For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
He must increase, but I must decrease.”
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.”
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses—
You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”
But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.
For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
He must increase, but I must decrease.”
