the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever
and ever! Amen.

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will
carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 6:6-8
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought
nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we
have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Philippians 1:21
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of
love and of self-discipline.
Philippians 2:1-11
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if
any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any
tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being
like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility
consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look
not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who,
being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the
very nature [2] of a servant, being made in human likeness. And
being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and
became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! Therefore God
exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is
above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every
tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
2 Timothy 1:12
That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because
I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to
guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.
2 Timothy 2:3-4
Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one
serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs - he wants to
please his commanding officer.
2 Timothy 2:21
If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument
for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to
do any good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God
may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Philippians 2:13
For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his
good purpose.
2 Timothy 4:6-8
For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time
has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have
finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me
the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge,
will award to me on that day -- and not only to me, but also to all
who have longed for his appearing.
Philippians 3:7-8
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of
Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the
surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose
sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may
gain Christ.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any doubleedged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints

day he visits us.

To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you
an example, that you should follow in his steps.
Hebrews 4:15-16
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with
our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every
way, just as we are - yet was without sin. Let us then approach
the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help us in our time of need.
1 Peter 3:15-16
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to
give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the
hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously
against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their
slander.
Hebrews 10:23-25
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who
promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one
another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up
meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us
encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day
approaching.
1 Peter 4:7-8
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and selfcontrolled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply,
because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we
do not see.
1 Peter 4:10

1 Peter 5:6-7

may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he
cares for you.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of
witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that
so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race
marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and
perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the
cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the
throne of God.
1 Peter 5:8-9
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like
a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing
firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout
the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
2 Peter 3:8-9
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is
like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The
Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand
slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but
everyone to come to repentance.
Hebrews 12:4
In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point
of shedding your blood.
Hebrews 12:11
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on,
however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for
those who have been trained by it.

sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 2:15-16
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the

world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the
boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but
from the world.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee
from you.

or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed
down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of
Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
1 John 3:16
This is how we know what love is - Jesus Christ laid down his life for
us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
1 John 4:17-19
In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have
confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are
like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not
made perfect in love. We love because He first loved us.
1 Peter 2:11-12
Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to
abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such
good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of

not burdensome,
1 John 5:13-15
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of
God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the

us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of
him.
