James Tissot
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins … we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest … 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions– Eph. 2

“PISTOS HO LOGOS” — “Faithful is the Word!”
