Chapter 8. Persevere in hope and patience

Chapter 9

1Let us then continually persevere in our hope , and the earnest of our righteousness, which is Jesus Christ , who bore our sins in His own body on the tree, 1 Peter 2:24 who did no sin , neither was guile found in His mouth, 1 Peter 2:22 but endured all things for us, that we might live in Him. 1 John 4:9 Let us then be imitators of His patience; and if we suffer Acts 5:41 ; 1 Peter 4:16 for His name's sake, let us glorify Him. For He has set us this example 1 Peter 2:21 in Himself, and we have believed that such is the case.
