8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

6 "I the LORD do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.

17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: "The old has gone, the new is here!

18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate "the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is —his good, pleasing and perfect will.

2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, "we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed —52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

4 Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.6 The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course.7 All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.

9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.10 Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something new"? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.

19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.4 They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
