into the synagogue and spoke boldly
[3955] for three months, reasoning
and persuading concerning the things of

many lamps in the upper room where
they were gathered together.

to you as to sons:

do not despise the

Lord,
Nor be

Yet
Michael the archangel,
in contending with the
devil, when he
disputed about the
body of Moses, dared not
bring against him a
reviling accusation, but
said, “The Lord rebuke
you!”

The Path to
Godliness Leads through the Valley of Suffering |
|
1 Cor. 12:24-25 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

Rejoice in
the midst of Sufferings |
|
1 Corinthians 12:26-27 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
1 Peter 1:6-7 In
this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary,
you have been grieved by various trials,
7 so that
the tested genuineness of your faith--more precious than gold
that perishes though it is tested by fire--may be found to
result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of
Jesus Christ. |
