- Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. - Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
- Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.

for my hope is in him. - Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.

fools will never walk there. - You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
- Fear the Lord and judge with integrity, for the Lord our God does not tolerate perverted justice, partiality, or the taking of bribes.
