Scriptural Confirmations # 14
14. 12. The Word was with God, and God was the Word; and all things were made by Him. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men; He was the true Light which lighteth every man: and the Word became flesh (John 1:1-14).

Jesus says that He is equal to the Father; in various places (John 5:18-23). That He quickeneth, and that He hath life in Himself, etc. (John 5:21, 26-27).
The bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world (John 6:33). He is the bread of life (John 6:35, 50-51).
Not that any one has seen the Father, save He who is with the Father, He hath seen the Father (John 6:46).
Jesus said I am the light of the world; he that followeth Me shall have the light of life (John 8:12; 9:5, 39; 12:35-36, 46).
Jesus said, Before Abraham was, I am (John 8:56, 58). He came into the world that the blind might see, and that they which see might become blind (John 9:39).
Jesus said, I and the Father are one (John 10:30).
The Father and He are one (John 10:30).

They should pray in His name, I say not that I will pray the Father for you; the Father Himself loveth you because ye have loved Me (John 16:26-28). He often says, In His name.

N. B. Arcanum. By "to glorify" is meant to unite the Divine Truth with the Divine Good in the Human. The Lord in the Father from eternity was the Divine Good and thence the Divine Truth, wherefore when He descended He was the Divine Truth from the Divine Good; a reciprocal union, or that of the Divine Truth with the Divine Good, was effected by the Lord in the Human while He was in the world: and it was accomplished successively, especially by redemption and by the fact that He did the will of the Father, and then fully by the last temptation, which was that of the cross, for temptation unites. Then was accomplished the reciprocal union of the Divine Truth with the Divine Good, thus the Father and Son are one, thus one Person like soul and body. All Mine are Thine and Thine are Mine, but I am glorified in them (John 17:10).
I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth (John 17:19).
That they may be one in Jesus as the Father is in Him (John 17:21-23).
Thomas said, my Lord and my God (John 20:28).
Philippians 1
1
Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2
Grace to you, and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3
I thank my God whenever I remember you,
4
always in every request of mine on behalf of you all making my requests with joy,
5
for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
6
being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
7
It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8
For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
9
This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
10
so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ;
11
being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12
Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;
13
so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;
14
and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15
Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16
The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18
What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
19
For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
21
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22
But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don't know what I will choose.
23
But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
24
Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25
Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
26
that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
27
Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
28
and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
29
Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
30
having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
