23 ch. 4:14Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for ch. 11:11;See 1 Cor. 1:9he who promised is faithful.
32 But recall the former days when, after ch. 6:4you were enlightened, you endured See Phil. 1:30a hard struggle with sufferings, 33 sometimes being 1 Cor. 4:9(Gk.)publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34 For [ch. 13:3;Matt. 25:36;2 Tim. 1:16] you had compassion on those in prison, and See Matt. 5:12you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had 1 Pet. 1:4a better possession and an abiding one. 36 For ch. 12:1-7;Luke 21:19;Rom. 2:7;12:12;See Matt. 10:22you have need of endurance, so that ch. 13:21;[1 John 2:17] when you have done the will of God you may ch. 11:39receive what is promised.
