Do not let those who seem trustworthy yet teach a different doctrine intimidate you. Stand firm like an anvil under the hammer. It is the mark of a great athlete to be struck and still win. Above all, we must endure everything for God's sake, so that He may also bear with us.

Be still more diligent than you are. Discern the times. Await Him who is beyond time: the Timeless One, the Invisible One who became visible for us, the Untouchable One, the One beyond suffering who became subject to suffering for us, the One who in every way endured for us.
