whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 24. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. v. 23. 2 Tim. 1.12. I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Tim. 4.18. The Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom. Heb. 6.17. God willing, more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath : 18. That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. Heb. 12.23.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 27. The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not, that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 2 Jno. 2. The truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 9. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. Rev. 22.4. They shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 11.
