In his letter to the Christians in Jerusalem, the apostle Paul commended his fellow believers for their past record of faithful endurance even under persecution.
فِي ٱلرِّسَالَةِ ٱلَّتِي وَجَّهَهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ بُولُسُ إِلَى ٱلْمَسِيحِيِّينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ،‏ مَدَحَ إِخْوَتَهُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى سِجِلِّ ٱحْتِمَالِهِمْ بِأَمَانَةٍ رَغْمَ ٱلِٱضْطِهَادِ .‏
