Though all these people by their faith won God's approval, yet none of them received what He had promised,

Be calm and alert. Your opponent the devil is always prowling about like a roaring lion, trying to devour you. Resist him and be strong in faith, because you know that your brotherhood all over the world is experiencing the same sort of sufferings.
