Peace

6 There are many who say, "O that we might see some good!    Let the light of your face shine on us, O Lord!"7 You have put gladness in my heart    more than when their grain and wine abound. 8 I will both lie down and sleep in peace,    for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety. ​ Photo by […]

1 Ahora, hermanos, quiero recordarles las buenas noticias que les prediqué, las mismas que recibieron y en las cuales se mantienen firmes. 2 Mediante estas buenas noticias son salvos, si se aferran a la palabra que les prediqué. De otro modo, habrán creído en vano. Fotografía de Steve Johnson en Unsplash. Diseño gráfico de Cynthia Friesen Coyle.​
