Verse of the Day

³ Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.

⁴ And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of ^[a]character (approved faith and ^[b]tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] ^[c]joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.
