For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.

Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

Διοτι οσα προεγραφησαν, δια την διδασκαλιαν ημων προεγραφησαν, δια να εχωμεν την ελπιδα δια της υπομονης και της παρηγοριας των γραφων.

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
