He told them to endure hardship to the end and also discard habits which are not worthy of Christians. He further urged the leadership and the members of the assembly to use the temple as a place for prayer, fasting and sound biblical teachings. He further entreated the members to remain in Christ and cautioned them against moving from place to place for prayers.
