So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure:
Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases...
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last ...
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
But love you your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.
So shall you find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
