“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught by the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. — Hosa proegraphē (whatever was written beforehand) was written eis tēn hēmetran didaskalia (for our teaching, instruction). Hypomonē (endurance, patient perseverance) and paraklēsis (exhortation, encouragement) from the Scriptures leads to elpis (hope, expectation). Scripture's purpose is pastoral: to sustain and embolden.
