Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith. From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

“They shall be mine,” says Yahweh of Armies, “my own possession in the day that I make. I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.”

Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

By which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble. For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
