Let us therefore persevere unceasingly in our hope and in the pledge of our righteousness, who is Christ Jesus, who bore our sins in his own body on the tree, who did no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth; but for our sake, that we might live in him, he endured all things.
Let us therefore become imitators of his endurance, and if we suffer for his name's sake, let us glorify him. For this is the example he set before us through himself, and this we have believed.
