knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,

for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;

that the proof of your faith--much more precious than of gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved--may be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

As for you, ye devised against me evil--God devised it for good, in order to do as <FI>at<Fi> this day, to keep alive a numerous people;

and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;

wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses--for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it--it doth yield.

Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,

and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

I have known thy works, and thy labour, and thy endurance, and that thou art not able to bear evil ones, and that thou hast tried those saying themselves to be apostles and are not, and hast found them liars,

for through faith we walk, not through sight--

for the mind of the flesh <FI>is<Fi> death, and the mind of the Spirit--life and peace;

for in this were the elders testified of;

no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;

and I have known such a man--whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, --

for for this also to dead men was good news proclaimed, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.

of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this unawares certain did entertain messengers;

in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,

and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap--not desponding;

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh--in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

But those expecting Jehovah pass <FI>to<Fi> power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!

There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.
