22 The lives of you having been purified in the obedience of the truth through spirit to brotherly kindness unfeigned, out of a pure heart each other love you intensely;
23 having been begotten again not from seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through word living of God and remaining.

25 the but word of Lord abides to the age; this now is the word that having been announced to you.
1 Then will be compared the kingdom of the heavens ten virgins, who having taken the lamps of them, went out to a meeting of the bridegroom.

9 Answered but the prudent, saying: Lest not it might suffice to us and to you; go you rather to the selling, and buy to yourselves.

8 be patient also you, establish the hearts of you, because the presence of the Lord has approached.
11 Lo, we call happy those patiently enduring; the patience of Job you heard, and the end of Lord you saw, because very compassionate is the Lord and merciful.
3 Not alone and, but also we boast in the afflictions, knowing that the affliction endurance works out,
4 the and endurance approbation, the and approbation hope,
11 with all strength being strengthened according to the power of the glory of him, for all patience and endurance with joy;
