A LETTER OF COURAGE
Beloved,
think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, in as much as ye are partakers of Christ's suffering; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
If ye were reproached for the name of Christ,
happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. Yet if any man suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye were followers of that which is good?
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Love is the fulfilling of the law, now it is high time to awake out of sleep: be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; BLESS THEM WHICH PERSECUTE YOU: BLESS, AND CURSE NOT. Therefore if thine enemies hunger, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink; for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Therefore, my beloved brethren be ye steadfast unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord for as much as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. God Bless You.
