Your faith grows exceedingly

and the love of every one of you all toward each other abounds; So that we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure: Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:
2 Thessalonians 1:3b-5

Well, that was back in the “Bible days”, brother Ian, and Christianity has advanced so much since those primitive beginnings!
