The apostle begins by spotlighting reverence as the leading element of our testimony. Touching on the limitation and spiritual dangers of bodily exercise, we show how Christ in several ways is Saviour of all. Finally, Paul identifies the six main elements of holiness that 'preach' to the lost.

'And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground.'

'After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.'
