Colossians 2:5

But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Let all things be done decently and in order.

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

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

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

For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
