Pieter Witses to his Wife

My dear chosen wife, abide in God, and do not mingle with the wicked; for if the righteous draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him, says the Lord. John 2, verse 28; Psalm 1, verse 1; Hebrews 10, verse 38. The time of my departure seems to be near; may it take place with God. [n754-1] When the hour of parting comes, do not be afraid, but guard your lips. My dear wife, abide in the grace of God given you.
