'Beloved' in the Bible

For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;

But don't forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.

Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you;

You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
