I Peter 1:3 (NIRV), "Give praise to the GOD and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ. In His great mercy He has given us a new birth and a hope that is alive. It is alive because Jesus Christ rose from the dead."
*
No matter what, NO MATTER WHAT; for those who know the LORD, our hope is manifested in the grace and mercy of our LORD Jesus Christ now and forevermore. The forevermore is shared in II Corinthians 5:8, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD."
