8 “I say, then, to YOU, Everyone that confesses+ union with me before men, the Son of man will also confess union with him before the angels of God.+

9 For if you publicly declare that ‘word in your own mouth,’+ that Jesus is Lord,*+ and exercise faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead,+ you will be saved.+

5 He that conquers+ will thus be arrayed in white outer garments;+ and I will by no means blot out his name from the book of life,+ but I will make acknowledgment of his name before my Father+ and before his angels.+
