But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit.
Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love.
the Lord appeared to Him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.
Painful Beloved
