For I know the plans our creator has for us, we will prosper and not enter the path of harm, know that we will be filled with hope and a peaceful future. There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, for the evil man has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be put out. Continually remember before our god and father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope. Let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. Know that the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel. Know that hope does not disappoint us, because god has poured out his love into our hearts by the holy spirit, whom he has given us. Know that god our father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, will renew our strength. We will soar on wings like eagles, this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in god used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to the the living god, who is the savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.
