clothed with white robes,

with palm branches in their hands.”

~Revelation 7:9~

“I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me

has really served to advance the gospel,

so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard

and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Chris.”
