For whatever things were written in former times were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has revived me.
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run who reads it.
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing earnest in prayer;
Now all these things happened to them as examples: and they are written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patient hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
