Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which YY , the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I Command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of Elohim wherein ye stand.
