Being Betrayed

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death.

For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
