If the people teach their God’s commands\par to their children,\par then the children will not be like\par their ancestors. {\cf2\super [444]} \par Their ancestors turned against God.\par They refused to obey him.\par Those people were stubborn.\par They were not loyal to God’s Spirit.\par
\{The believers continued to meet together.\} They used their time to learn the teaching of the apostles. {\cf2\super [45]} The believers shared with each other. They ate {\cf2\super [46]} together and prayed together.
If a person is \{too\} hungry to wait, then he should eat at home. Do this so that your meeting together will not bring God’s judgment on you. I will tell you what to do about the other things when I come.
So, my dear brothers and sisters, stand strong. Don’t let anything change you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord. You know that your work in the Lord is never wasted.
We have this hope. And it is like an anchor. It is strong and sure and keeps us safe. It goes behind the curtain {\cf2\super [51]} \{in the heavenly temple\}.
Refuse to follow the devil. Stand strong in your faith. You know that your brothers and sisters all over the world are having the same sufferings that you have.
