1
I urge all of you to obey the Word of righteousness and practice every form of endurance.
2
You saw such endurance with your own eyes not only in the blessed Ignatios, Zosimos, and Rufus, but also in others from among yourselves.
3
You saw it also in Paulos himself and in the other emissaries.
4
Be convinced that none of these ran in vain.
5
They ran in faithfulness and righteousness and now stand in the place appointed to them beside the Master for whom they suffered.
6
They did not love the present age.
7
They loved the one who died for us and whom Elohim raised for our sake.
