And the Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us by giving us hope.
Future generations must also praise the LORD, so write this for them:
When I am hurting, I find comfort in your promise that leads to life.
Then the LORD told me: "I will give you my message in the form of a vision. Write it clearly enough to be read at a glance.
Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble and never stop praying.
These things happened to them as a warning to us. All this was written in the Scriptures to teach us who live in these last days.
we tell God our Father about your faith and loving work and about your firm hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Be alert and think straight. Put all your hope in how kind God will be to you when Jesus Christ appears.
