^16 (A)“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. ^(B)I am the Root and the Offspring of David, ^(C)the Bright and Morning Star.”

^19 [a]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a ^(A)light that shines in a dark place, ^(B)until ^(C)the day dawns and the morning star rises in your ^(D)hearts;

^27 (A)For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

²⁶ And he who overcomes, and keeps ^(A)My works until the end, ^(B)to him I will give power over the nations—

as I also have received from My Father; ²⁸ and I will give him ^(D)the morning star.

² Beloved, ^(A)now we are children of God; and ^(B)it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, ^(C)we shall be like Him, for ^(D)we shall see Him as He is. ^3 (E)And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
