SCRIPTURE

"In your patience ye shall win your souls." — Luke 21:19 (ASV)

In your patience, possess your souls .
] By patiently bearing all afflictions, reproaches, indignities, and persecutions, enjoy yourselves; let nothing disturb or distress you; possess that peace and joy in your souls, which the world cannot take away; see (Romans 5:3–5) . The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read, "you shall possess": and the sense may be this; by patient continuance, or by perseverance in the ways of God, and the truths of Christ unto the end, you shall be saved; shall find your lives, and enjoy your souls, as in (Matthew 10:22) (24:13) .
