You are going to hear the noise of battles close by and the news of battles far away; but do not be troubled. Such things must happen, but they do not mean that the end has come.

Everyone will hate you because of me. But whoever holds out to the end will be saved.

Everyone will hate you because of me. But whoever holds out to the end will be saved.

The seeds that fell in good soil stand for those who hear the message and retain it in a good and obedient heart, and they persist until they bear fruit.

Some people keep on doing good, and seek glory, honor, and immortal life; to them God will give eternal life.

He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be faultless on the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But Christ is faithful as the Son in charge of God's house. We are his house if we keep up our courage and our confidence in what we hope for.

For we are all partners with Christ if we hold firmly to the end the confidence we had at the beginning.

We are not people who turn back and are lost. Instead, we have faith and are saved.

Don't be afraid of anything you are about to suffer. Listen! The Devil will put you to the test by having some of you thrown into prison, and your troubles will last ten days. Be faithful to me, even if it means death, and I will give you life as your prize of victory.
