2 Tim. iv. 17.

Col. iii. 12 -17.

δύναμαι βλασφημῆσαι τὸν βασιλέα μου, τὸν σώσαντά με δ;

I have detained you over long, but I had these truths to utter, which another might have done more forcibly, but none more faithfully. The Lord stand by us, and strengthen us in the day of trial, that, like Paul, we may be "delivered out of the mouth of the lion." There are subtler temptations on our right hand and on our left. "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with in grace your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."

Euseb. Hist. Eccles. iv. 15.
