riddance to everything that hinders

the sin that easily engulfs

let us stand with perseverance

against the spirits of this world

let us fix our eyes upon Christ

the author and perfector of faith

who for the joy set before Him

endured the cross scorning its' shame

consider Him who endured such opposition

so that we will not grow weary

in our battle against flesh and blood

God will prevail

strengthen our feeble arms and our weak knees

so that we will know that suffering

produces perseverance

and blessed are the persecuted
