Pagina 147 - For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God ; and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
Pagina 198 - Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
