“Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great
contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other
times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property,
because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.”

are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved” (Hebrews 10:32-36, 39).

chariots had surrounded the city. ‘Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?’ the servant asked. ‘Don’t be
afraid,’ the prophet answered. ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’” Then Elisha prayed, “‘Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.’ Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he
looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha” (2 Kings 6:15-17).

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that
hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who, for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right
hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not
grow weary and lose heart” (Hebrews 12:1-3).
