For this intent
have we written
these things,
that they may know
that we knew of Christ,
and we had
a hope of his glory
many hundred years
before his coming;
and not only
we ourselves
had a hope
of his glory,
but also
all the holy prophets
which were before us.
Behold,
they believed
in Christ
and worshiped
the Father
in his name,
and also
we worship
the Father
in his name.
