Polycarp to Philippians 8

Apostolic Father

Chapter 8 — Persevere in hope and patience.

2Let us then continually persevere in our hope, and the earnest of our righteousness, which is Jesus Christ, "who bore our sins in His own body on the tree," "who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth," but endured all things for us, that we might live in Him.

3Let us then be imitators of His patience; and if we suffer for His name's sake, let us glorify Him.

4For He has set us this example in Himself, and we have believed that such is the case.
