Death

I shall be glad to sacrifice myself and all I have for your service, even tho' it should happen that the more I love you, the less I should be beloved.

I am therefore glad when I am disarm'd by the strength of your integrity: and this is what I pray for, even your perfection.

things that little affect me, nor is life so much my concern, as to finish my course, and the charge I receiv'd from the Lord Jesus, to attest the declaration of the divine favour.

we are made fools for our attachment to Christ, while you, who are christians too, still pass for the wise: we are in poverty, but you are in power: you meet with esteem, but we find contempt.

and if my blood should serve as a libation to ratify your faith, I should rejoice and congratulate with you all thereupon;

this is the proof of the divine love, Christ expos'd his life for us: and we ought to expose our lives for the brethren.

I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in great agony:

for if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.
