Don’t y’all be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, y’all should fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
For Christ’s sake, I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in troubles, in persecutions, and in tight squeezes. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Blessed is the one who endures testing, because after being approved, that person will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love ʜɪᴍ.
Jesus said, “I tell y’all, there is no one who has left house or brother or sister or father or mother or wife or children or land for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,
Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my name’s sake will receive one hundred times and will inherit eternal life.
YHWH, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so do not take me away. Know that I have suffered reproach for your sake.
I have made your forehead as a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”
We call them blessed who endured. Y’all have heard of the perseverance of Job, and y’all have seen what the Lord brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
