Filho de Deus
Jesus é o Filho de Deus — a revelação suprema do Pai. Nele habita toda a plenitude da divindade e por Ele temos acesso ao Pai, à salvação e à vida eterna.
A revelação do Filho
O Filho é o resplendor da glória de Deus. Quem vê o Filho vê o Pai. Jesus é a imagem perfeita do Deus invisível.
Which when also he is the brightness of glory, and [the] figure of his substance, and beareth all things by word of his virtue, he maketh purgation of sins, and sitteth on the right half of the majesty in heavens;
and so much is made better than angels, by how much he hath inherited a more diverse name before them.
And the word, [that is, God’s son], was made man [or flesh], and dwelled among us, and we have seen the glory of him, as the glory of the one begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and of truth.
No man saw ever [or ever saw] God, but the one begotten Son, that is in the bosom of the Father, he hath told out.
And Jesus answered to them, My Father worketh till now, and I work.
Therefore the Jews sought more to slay him, for not only he brake the sabbath, but he said that God was his Father, and made him even to God.
Confissão e fé
Tu és o Cristo, o Filho do Deus vivo! Quem confessa que Jesus é o Filho de Deus, Deus permanece nele.
And Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea of Philippi, and asked his disciples, and said, Whom say men to be man’s Son?

Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art Christ, the Son of God living [or the son of quick God].
And when Jesus was baptized, anon he went up from the water; and lo! heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down as a dove, and coming [up] on him;
and lo! a voice from heaven, saying, This is my [be] loved Son, in which I have well pleased to me.
Whoever acknowledgeth, that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
In this thing, the charity of God appeared in us, for God sent his one begotten Son into the world, that we live by him.
In this thing is charity, not as we had loved God, but for he first loved us, and sent his Son forgiveness [or helping] for our sins.
He that doeth sin, is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. In this thing the Son of God appeared, that he undo the works of the devil.
He that hath the Son of God, hath also life; he that hath not the Son of God, hath not life.
Vida no Filho
Deus enviou seu Filho ao mundo para que vivêssemos por Ele. O Filho dá vida, julga e reconcilia os pecadores com o Pai.
For God loved so the world [or Forsooth God so loved the world], that he gave his one begotten Son, that each man that believeth in him perish not, but have everlasting life.
For as the Father raiseth dead men, and quickeneth, so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
For neither the Father judgeth any man, but hath given every doom to the Son,
that all men honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent him.
Truly, truly, I say to you, for the hour cometh, and now it is, when dead men shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear, shall live.
For as the Father hath life in him-self, so he gave to the Son, to have life in himself;
But how many ever received him, he gave to them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name;
the which not of bloods, neither of the will of flesh, neither of the will of man, but be born of God.
and I am fixed to the cross, that I live to God with Christ. And now live not I, but Christ liveth in me. But that I live now in flesh, I live in the faith of God’s Son, that loved me, and gave himself for me. [with Christ I am fixed to the cross. Forsooth I live now, not I, but Christ liveth in me. Forsooth that I live now in flesh, I live in the faith of God’s son, the which loved me, and betook himself for me.]
But after that the fulfilling of time came, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
that he should again-buy them that were under the law, that we should receive the adoption of sons.
And for ye be God’s sons, God sent his Spirit into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. [Forsooth for ye be the sons of God, God sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, that is, father.]
For if when we were enemies, we be reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more we reconciled shall be safe in the life of him.
Forsooth a little child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and prince-hood is made [up] on his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, A counsellor, God, Strong, Father of the world to coming, A prince of peace, [or Marvellous, Counsellor, God, Strong, Father of the world to come, Prince of peace].
