Father, [as to] those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before [the] foundation of [the] world. Righteous Father, -- and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have made known to them thy name, and will make [it] known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them. John 17:24-26
But if what we see not we hope, we expect in patience. Romans 8:25
