From every evil work; not from persecution even to death, for this the apostle expected; but from receiving any spiritual injury through the evil works of his enemies. God would keep his faith steadfast amid all his trials, and grant him a perfect and everlasting victory over them. Should godly ministers or private Christians in the hour of death be absent from earthly friends, they will not be alone. That Friend who loves them, and can do for them infinitely more than all others, will be with them; and when flesh and heart fail, he will be the strength of their heart, and their portion for ever. Psalms 73:26.
