ST. PETER’S SECOND UNIVERSAL LETTER 2:9-22
Beloved, the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority.

ST. PAUL’S SECOND LETTER TO TIMOTHY 2:11-19
TIMOTHY, my son, the saying is sure: If we have died with him, we shall also live with him; if we endure, we shall also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful – for he cannot deny himself.Remind them of this, and charge…
