Hearken, my beloved brethren, did not God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love Him?

Whom, not having seen, ye love; on Whom, though now not seeing Him, yet believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and full of glory;

We love, because He first loved us.

In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do His commandments.

Hate

For what I accomplish, I know not; for not what I wish, this do I practice; but what I hate, this I do.

Let love be without hypocrisy; abhorring that which is evil; cleaving to that which is good;

Preserveth

Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

And we know that all things are working together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose;

who are being guarded by God's power, through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time;

Delivereth

And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth, and will bring to nought by the manifestation of His presence;

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have the faith.

We know that every one who has been begotten of God sins not; but he who was begotten of God keeps himself, and the evil one touches him not.

And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the founding of a world.
