“Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.” -Philippians‬ ‭1:27-30‬ . “He says well “terrified”, as that is what our enemies intend to do, to terrify us. He says that there is nothing to terrify us, whatever are their plans; That is the portion of those who walk upright, Their enemy can do nothing more than to try to terrify them. When they realize that, with all their planning, they cannot terrify you, they would count it as a proof of their perdition. When the persecutors could not overcome those they persecute; the planners could not overcome those against whom they plan; and those of authority could not overcome those under their authority; Is it not a proof enough that their perdition is close at hand? that their power is naught, and that what they did are vain and weak? … The apostle says that all this is from God.” -St. John Chrysostom . . . #Coptic #CopticOrthodox #Gospel #TheWordOfGod

“And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:18-22‬ . “ The first ones to be called to follow the Savior were illiterate fishermen. He sent them to preach so that no one relates the change of the believers to eloquence and knowledge, but rather to the work of God”. – St. Jerome #DailyReadings #Orthodox #CopticOrthodox
