Ministries (Page 155)

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity.

The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honor, and life.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:

(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
