A church that is assaulted and attacked may never die but become as Christ upon the cross. 

A church that assaults and attacks will certainly die, though with its every fiber seeking to survive. 

Do not be afraid when the Armenian Apostolic Church is assaulted and persecuted but rejoice, for this marks the beginning of an expansion of its territorial dominance. 

So, be not afraid, but see the sign of the cross, and our suffering as his own. 

The Armenian Apostolic Church, so long as it endures pain and does not inflict pain, will be as eternal as the archangels, the seraphim, and the saints which guide it and intercede for her.
