when I call to mind your affliction, it makes me ardently desire the exceeding pleasure I shall have in seeing you:

it is an undoubted truth, that if we die for him, we shall live with him:

if we suffer, we shall also reign: if we renounce him,

but they will be stop'd in their career; for they shall be expos'd to the world for impostors, as those magicians were.

and those who will live like Christians, shall generally suffer persecution.
