And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also our dear brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him,

When the jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison standing open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he assumed the prisoners had escaped.But Paul called out loudly,“ Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!”Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell down trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.Then he brought them outside and asked,“ Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”They replied,“ Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him, along with all those who were in his house.At that hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds; then he and all his family were baptized right away.

and if God is gracious to him and says,‘ Spare him from going down to the place of corruption, I have found a ransom for him,’

to turn back his life from the place of corruption, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.

He draws near to the place of corruption, and his life to the messengers of death.
