Tribulation

And I said to him, Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they coming out of great pressure, and they washed their robes, and whitened their robes in the blood of the Lamb.

These have I spoken to you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world shall ye have pressure; but take courage; I have conquered the world.

And supporting the souls of the disciples, beseeching to remain in the faith, that through many pressures we must come into the kingdom of God.

And not only, but also we boast in affliction: knowing that affliction works perseverance;

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? pressure, or perplexity, or expulsion, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Rejoicing in hope; holding out under pressure; persevering in prayer;

For also, when we were with you, we told you before that we were about to be pressed; as also it was, and ye know.

Even though just with God to return pressure to them pressing you;

Poverty

And he having lifted up his eyes upon his disciples, said, Happy the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God

That in much proof of pressure the abundance of their joy and their poverty according to depth abounded to the abundance of their simplicity.

Hear, my dearly beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the beggars of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them loving him?

The blasphemy

And many other things, blaspheming, they spake against him.

And in all the synagogues, many times punishing them, I compelled to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I drove out even also to cities without.

Being before slandering, expelling, and an abuser: but I was commiserated, because I did, not knowing, in unbelief.

Which

Behold, thou art named a Jew, and restest upon the law, and boastest thyself in God,

And not as that the word of God has fallen through. For not they all of Israel, they which of Israel:

The synagogue

Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but they lie; behold, I will make them that they come and worship before thy feet, and they should know that I have loved thee.

General references

But treasure to you treasures in heaven, where neither moth, nor gnawing destroy; and where thieves dig not through, nor steal.

If the work of any shall remain which he built upon, he shall receive a reward.
