Manifest

and in no way terrorized by its enemies. For you fearlessness is a clear indication of coming ruin for them, but of salvation for you at the hands of God.

If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the spirit of glory and of God is resting upon you.

Righteous

In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.

Who shall not fear, O Lord, And glorify thy name? For thou only art holy. For all the nations shall come and worship before thee; For thy righteous acts have been made evident."

May

"So be on your guard at all times, praying that you may be worthy to escape these things that shall come to pass, and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of man."

I summon you then, I the prisoner in the Lord, to live lives worthy of the calling to which you were called.

I ask that you may give thanks to the Father who has made us fit to receive our share of the heritage of the saints in the light.

Yet you have a few names in Sardis that have not defiled their garment; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
