Pray that I may make it known as I should. ¹ 

Take your share of suffering ¹  as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

but by precious blood like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.

His ¹  appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.

But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then Jesus ¹  himself also went up, not openly but in secret.

I beg you, brothers and sisters, ¹  become like me, because I have become like you. You have done me no wrong!

not like those who do their work only when someone is watching ¹  – as people-pleasers – but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart. ² 

As you know, we treated each one of you as a father treats his own children,

Remember those in prison as though you were in prison with them, ¹  and those ill-treated as though you too felt their torment. ² 

His feet were like polished bronze ¹  refined ²  in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar ³  of many waters.

I also heard a sound ¹  coming out of heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. Now ²  the sound I heard was like that made by harpists playing their harps,

Then ¹  I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast throng, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They were shouting: ²  “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, ³  the All-Powerful, ⁴  reigns!

Not so with you; ¹  instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader ²  like the one who serves. ³

Nevertheless, ¹  as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each person, so must he live. I give this sort of direction in all the churches.

and though my physical condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. ¹  Instead, you welcomed me as though I were an angel of God, ²  as though I were Christ Jesus himself! ³ 

For all flesh ¹  is like grass and all its glory like the flower of the grass; ²  the grass withers and the flower falls off,
