For, in fact we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know'. Strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God. "Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name at each meal.
