Colossians 1:23

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
