"And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun,
with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth.
And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads
and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. His tail swept down a third
of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before
the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child
he might devour it." Revelation 12:1-4 (ESV)

"Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted
by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
And the tempter came and said to him, 'If you are the Son of God, command
these stones to become loaves of bread.'" Matthew 4:1-3 (ESV)

"Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:

He was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated by the Spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed among the nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory." 1 Timothy 3:16 (ESV)

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect
in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that
the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content
with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak,
then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (ESV)

"Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right
to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates."
Revelation 22:14 (ESV)

"He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins
and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself."
Hebrews 7:27 (ESV)

"For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows
while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it,
you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing
in the sight of God. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you,
leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps."
1 Peter 2:19-21 (ESV)
