20 But as* he was considering these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

5 But the angel answered and* said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.

53 Or do you think that I cannot call upon my Father, and he would put at my disposal at once more than twelve legions of angels?

30 And the angel said to her,

"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

31 And behold, you will conceive in the womb and will give birth to a son,

and you will call his name Jesus.

10 And the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring good news to you of great joy which will be for all the people:

14 "Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace

among people with whom he is pleased!"*

10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

10 And as they were staring into the sky while* he was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood by them 11 who also said, "Men of Galilee,* why do you stand there looking* into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven like this will come back in the same way you saw him departing into heaven!"

Concluding Ethical Instructions

1 Brotherly love must continue. 2 Do not neglect hospitality, because through this some have received angels as guests without knowing it.

Love, the More Excellent Way

1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a ringing brass gong or a clashing cymbal.

16 And most certainly, great is the mystery of godliness:

Who was revealed in the flesh,

was vindicated by* the Spirit,

was seen by angels,

was proclaimed among the Gentiles*,

was believed on in the world,

was taken up in glory.

16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who remain, will be snatched away at the same time together with them in the clouds for a meeting with the Lord in the air, and thus we will be together with the Lord always.

5 The one who conquers in this way will be dressed in white clothing, and I will never erase his name from the book of life, and I will declare his name before my Father and before his angels.

38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
