- Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord;
and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you:
for I am merciful, saith the Lord,
and I will not keep anger for ever. - For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake.
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?Next verse!With image
