Esther 4:13

Then Mordecai sent this answer back to Esther: Do not have the idea that you in the king's house will be safe from the fate of all the Jews.

If you give way in the day of trouble, your strength is small.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross, and come after me.

He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever.

Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.

Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose.
