"And now, dear and well beloved brethren--and when we say brethren, we mean those who have continued faithful in Christ, men, women and children--we feel to exhort you in the name of the Lord Jesus, to be strong in the faith in the new and everlasting covenant, and nothing frightened at your enemies....Hold on even unto death; for 'he that seeks to save his life shall lose it; and he that loses his life for my sake, and the Gospel's shall find it,' saith Jesus Christ [see Mark 8:35]." (From Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, 376)
