One of his favorite bible scriptures was Romans 5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom we have access by faith into this grace by which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who was given unto us.
