Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
Alright friends, find your joy in God. I know I keep saying the same things over and over, but honestly? It doesn't bother me at all to remind you, because these reminders keep you grounded and safe.
Sometimes the best advice is worth repeating until it sticks.
