-1 Thess. 2: 12, NW.
Being a God of purpose, J ehovah
arranged to have a separate
and distinct people for
his name in this time of the
end. They must not be his people
in name only; they must
live up to the name. Jehovah's
witnesses will live up to the

time for him by worrying, neither
can he profitably use that
which is already allotted. And
how can time-consuming worry
be effectively banished? By
comfort from God. Paul contended
that God had comforted

truths, will free distraught
minds for profitable use. W 2/1
