2 I elskede! nu er vi Guds barn, og det er ennu ikke åpenbaret hvad vi skal bli; vi vet at når han åpenbares, da skal vi bli ham like; for vi skal se ham som han er.

2 My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.
