so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
