These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in
mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is
time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain
righteousness on you.
For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
