Stand Firm, Like an Anvil Under the Hammer

¹ Don’t let those who appear trustworthy yet teach strange doctrines throw you off.

² It’s the mark of a great athlete to take blows and still win.

³ Above all, for God’s sake we have to endure everything, so that He too may endure us.

⁴ Be more diligent than you already are.

⁵ Study the times carefully.

⁶ Look for the One who is above time—the timeless, the invisible, who for our sake became visible; the intangible, the impassible, who for our sake became passible; the One who for our sake endured in every possible way.
