Therefore, you must never tire of doing good or weaken in your determination. Do not become lazy or sleepy in good works and in being the Lord’s disciples. See to it that the love and the actual, divine light you have toward God and his saints is not extinguished in your hearts. Never look back or consider what you left behind, but always press on toward your goal in order to achieve the prize and be crowned.

An early Anabaptist leader urges his persecuted flock to watch day and night.
