29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
¶ Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
21 ¶ Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
