¹⁸ Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

¹⁹ Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

⁹ But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

³⁹ But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
