News Of The Romans
There is a sweet joy which comes to us through sorrow. In God will I praise his word, in the Lord will I praise his word: In God have I my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men. So I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun, and behold the tears of such as were oppressed and they had no comforter. And on the side of their oppressors there was power, but they had no comforter: "Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive".
