Silverio: “Peleo la buena batalla, acabo la carrera, guardado la fe. Por lo demás, fue a recibir la corona de justicia, la cual le será dada por el Señor, juez justo, en aquel día; y no solo a el, sino también a todos los que amamos su venida. (2 Timoteo 4:7-8)

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future, there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
