4 Perciocchè tutte le cose, che furono già innanzi scritte, furono scritte per nostro ammaestramento; acciocchè, per la pazienza, e per la consolazione delle scritture, noi riteniamo la speranza.
4
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
