12. Rejoicing, c.—Here it is more lively to retain the order and the verbs of the original: "In hope, rejoicing in tribulation, enduring; in prayer, persevering." Each of these exercises helps the other. If our "hope" of glory is so assured that it is a rejoicing hope, we shall find the spirit of "endurance in tribulation" natural and easy; but since it is "prayer" which strengthens the faith that begets hope and lifts it up into an assured and joyful expectancy, and since our patience in tribulation is fed by this, it will be seen that all depends on our "perseverance in prayer." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
