confirming the souls of the disciples, and admonishing, that they should dwell in the faith, and said, That by many tribulations it behooveth us to enter into the kingdom of heavens.
And whether we be in tribulation, [or be troubled, or be pursued], for your tribulation [or teaching] and health, either we be comforted, for your comfort, either we be admonished, for your admonishing and health. Which worketh in you the suffering of the same passions, which also we suffer,
and now I have joy in passion for you, and I [ful] fill those things that fail of the passions of Christ in my flesh, for his body, that is the church.
