"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
