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.
