John Chrysostom preaches about the importance of enduring trials and afflictions, highlighting the benefits of suffering for the sake of Christ. He emphasizes the transformation of the inward man through persecution, leading to a better inheritance and eternal glory. Chrysostom encourages believers to eagerly seek incorruptible bodies and to be well pleasing to God, knowing that they will be judged for their actions. He vividly describes the judgment-seat of Christ and the consequences of both receiving good and bad rewards based on one's deeds, urging listeners to choose virtue and righteousness to attain the promised eternal blessings.

George Fox emphasizes the importance of waiting in the measure of the life of God to guide our minds towards the Father of life, urging believers to shed the changing aspects of life and embrace the unchanging nature of God. He warns against being found 'naked' in spiritual terms, which signifies being caught in the transient and blind aspects of life. Fox encourages the faithful to seek renewal of strength from God, live in peace, and allow the love of God to abound in their hearts, which leads to transformation and unity among believers. He stresses the necessity of maintaining spiritual meetings and being faithful to the gifts God has given, as this fosters the presence of God's seed among them. Ultimately, he calls for a life that reflects God's love, virtue, and immortality, while condemning that which is contrary to His kingdom.
