Just be determined, be confident; and make sure that you obey the whole Law that my servant Moses gave you. Do not neglect any part of it and you will succeed wherever you go.

Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the LORD your God, am with you wherever you go."

King David said to his son Solomon, "Be confident and determined. Start the work and don't let anything stop you. The LORD God, whom I serve, will be with you. He will not abandon you, but he will stay with you until you finish the work to be done on his Temple.

Trust in the LORD. Have faith, do not despair. Trust in the LORD.

Give strength to hands that are tired and to knees that tremble with weakness.

Tell everyone who is discouraged, "Be strong and don't be afraid! God is coming to your rescue, coming to punish your enemies."

He said, "God loves you, so don't let anything worry you or frighten you." When he had said this, I felt even stronger and said, "Sir, tell me what you have to say. You have made me feel better."

Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong.

Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power.

After this, Abram had a vision and heard the LORD say to him, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I will shield you from danger and give you a great reward."

May the LORD reward you for what you have done. May you have a full reward from the LORD God of Israel, to whom you have come for protection!"

They give knowledge to me, your servant; I am rewarded for obeying them.

People will say, "The righteous are indeed rewarded; there is indeed a God who judges the world."

Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted.

Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that!

"Make certain you do not perform your religious duties in public so that people will see what you do. If you do these things publicly, you will not have any reward from your Father in heaven.

Then it will be a private matter. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.

But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.

so that others cannot know that you are fasting---only your Father, who is unseen, will know. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.

Whoever welcomes God's messenger because he is God's messenger, will share in his reward. And whoever welcomes a good man because he is good, will share in his reward.

You can be sure that whoever gives even a drink of cold water to one of the least of these my followers because he is my follower, will certainly receive a reward."

No! Love your enemies and do good to them; lend and expect nothing back. You will then have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God. For he is good to the ungrateful and the wicked.

A person who works is paid wages, but they are not regarded as a gift; they are something that has been earned.

But those who depend on faith, not on deeds, and who believe in the God who declares the guilty to be innocent, it is this faith that God takes into account in order to put them right with himself.

There is no difference between the one who plants and the one who waters; God will reward each one according to the work each has done.

If what was built on the foundation survives the fire, the builder will receive a reward.

If I did my work as a matter of free choice, then I could expect to be paid; but I do it as a matter of duty, because God has entrusted me with this task.

What pay do I get, then? It is the privilege of preaching the Good News without charging for it, without claiming my rights in my work for the gospel.

So then, my dear friends, stand firm and steady. Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever useless.

Remember that the Lord will give you as a reward what he has kept for his people. For Christ is the real Master you serve.

God is not unfair. He will not forget the work you did or the love you showed for him in the help you gave and are still giving to other Christians.

Do not lose your courage, then, because it brings with it a great reward.

Be on your guard, then, so that you will not lose what we have worked for, but will receive your reward in full.
