Happy is the man who sustaineth temptation; for being approved he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.

Hear, my beloved brethren; hath not God chosen the poor of this world who are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which He hath promised to them that love Him? but ye have slighted the poor.

whom having not seen ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing ye rejoice with joy ineffable and full of glory; receiving the end of your faith,

We love Him, because He first loved us. If any one say,

and in this we know that we love the children of God, since we love God and keep his commandments.

Hate

For that which I do, I allow not: for I do not that which I would; but what I hate, this I do.

Let love be unfeigned. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good;

Preserveth

And Thomas answered, and said, "My Lord and my God."

And we know that all things co-operate for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose;

who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Delivereth

And then the wicked one shall be detected, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth, and abolish by the brightness of his coming:

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

We know that whosoever is born of God, doth not practise sin: but keepeth himself from it, and the wicked one doth not touch him.

So that all who dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
