KNOW THAT ALL WHO WAIT FOR THE LORD WILL GAIN NEW STRENGTH; THEY WILL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES, THEY WILL RUN AND NOT GET TIRED, THEY WILL WALK AND NOT BECOME WEARY. BE QUICK TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK AND SLOW TO ANGER, FOR THE ANGER OF MAN DOES NOT ACHIEVE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. BE PATIENT, UNTIL THE COMING OF THE LORD. STRENGTHEN YOUR HEARTS, FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD IS AT HAND. KNOW TO DO WHAT IS GOOD, FOR IN DUE TIME WE SHALL REAP THE FRUITS OF THE SEEDS WE HAVE SOWN, KNOW NOT TO GROW WEARY. KNOW TO ADMONISH THE UNRULY, ENCOURAGE THE FAINTHEARTED, HELP THE WEAK, BE PATIENT WITH ALL MEN. CEASE FROM ANGER, AND FORSAKE WRATH, DO NOT FRET, IT LEADS ONLY TO EVILDOING. FOR EVILDOERS WILL BE CUT OFF, BUT THOSE WHO WAIT FOR THE LORD, THEY WILL INHERIT THE LAND. KNOW THAT TRIBULATION BRINGS ABOUT PERSEVERANCE, KNOW THAT GOD GIVES US PERSEVERANCE AND ENCOURAGEMENT, KNOW TO BE OF THE SAME MIND WITH ONE ANOTHER ACCORDING TO CHRIST JESUS, KNOW TO REFLECT IN ALL YOU DO THE TEACHINGS OF GOD. KNOW TO HAVE UNITY OF MIND, SYMPATHY, BROTHERLY LOVE, A TENDER HEART, AND A HUMBLE MIND. DO NOT REPAY EVIL FOR EVIL OR REVILING FOR REVILING, BUT ON THE CONTRARY, BLESS, FOR TO THIS YOU WERE CALLED, THAT YOU MAY OBTAIN A BLESSING. FOR WHOEVER DESIRES TO LOVE LIFE AND SEE GOOD DAYS, LET HIM KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING DECEIT, LET HIM TURN AWAY FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD, LET HIM SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT. KNOW TO HONOR CHRIST THE LORD AS HOLY, ALWAYS BEING PREPARED TO MAKE A DEFENSE TO ANYONE WHO ASKS YOU FOR A REASON FOR THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU, YET DO IT WITH GENTLENESS AND RESPECT, JUDGE NOT, THAT YOU BE NOT JUDGED. KNOW THAT HE WHO DWELLS IN THE SHELTER OF THE MOST HIGH WILL ABIDE IN THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY. I WILL SAY TO THE LORD, MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS, MY GOD, IN WHOM I TRUST. FOR HE WILL DELIVER US FROM THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER AND FROM THE DEADLY PESTILENCE. HE WILL COVER US WITH HIS PINIONS, AND UNDER HIS WINGS WE WILL FIND REFUGE, HIS FAITHFULNESS IS A SHIELD AND BUCKLER. KNOW NOT TO FEAR THE TERROR OF THE NIGHT, NOR THE ARROW THAT FLIES BY DAY. KNOW TO BE AS HAS BEEN INSTRUCTED TO US BY GOD.
