And Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding weight of glory . So that looking at the recompense, let us bear the toils of virtue with long-suffering, giving thanks to the God and Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love . For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself . And so, my brothers, let us rejoice and be glad as we repudiate every pleasure.
All flesh is grass, and all human glory like the flower of the grass.
The grass withered and the flower faded, but the work of virtue endures for ever . Let him sing psalms . If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them , said the Lord, to whom be glory and might, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever and to the ages of ages.
