20 For all the promises of God, however many, have their yes in him. Therefore also through him is the Amen to the glory of God through us.
21 It is God who makes us and you steadfast to Christ, and has anointed us
22 and sealed us and has given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
12 Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he has been tested he will gain the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful who has promised,
13 In him you also, after hearing the message of the truth, the good news of your salvation, and putting your faith in him, were sealed by the promised Holy Spirit,
14 which is the pledge of our inheritance in anticipation of the full redemption of God's own people to the praise of his glory.
