(1) But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.

(5) And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.

(6) As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.
(7) And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.

(8) They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

(9) They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.
