Book of Common Prayer

¹² Be fighting the good fight of faith. Take-hold-of eternal life, into which you were called, and confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. ¹³ I command you in the sight of God, the One giving-life-to all things, and Christ Jesus, the One having testified the good confession before^[a] Pontius Pilate, ¹⁴ that you keep the commandment unspotted, above-reproach, until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ which in His^[b] own times, the blessed and only Ruler will show^[c]— the King of the ones being-kings^[d] and Lord of the ones being-lords^[e], ¹⁶ the only One having immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, Whom none of mankind saw nor is able to see, to Whom be honor and eternal dominion, amen.

But now^[a] they were hidden from your eyes. ⁴³ Because days will come upon you— and your enemies will throw-up a palisade^[b] against you, and encircle you, and confine you from all sides. ⁴⁴ And they will dash^[c] you to the ground, and your children within you. And they will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation”.
