0:12
Leads to even greater hardship.
0:16
Whoever prefers safety and fears the toil of resisting corruption and its proponents,
0:21
will inevitably fall into greater difficulty and more severe hardship.
0:25
He will find this in the loss of his religion, his soul, his honor, and his wealth.
0:30
This is the price of silence and the preference for the worldly life,
0:35
along with a corruption of one's worldview.
0:37

0:45
