23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for (A)He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 (B)not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and (C)so much the more as you see (D)the Day approaching.
