TSK · Colossians 1:11

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

They will say of me, 'There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.'" Even to him shall men come; and all those who were incensed against him shall be disappointed.

They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus' name.

Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;

but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.

to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
