Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for [upon] Him God the Father has set [His] seal."

And so eagerly striving to evangelize not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon the foundation of another,

Therefore I run thus: not as without a goal, thus I box: not as one beating the air.

But I treat my body roughly, and I bring it into subjection, lest, having preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

So then, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

for which I also labor, striving according to His working which is working in me with power.

and that you aspire to be quiet, and to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, just as we commanded you,

For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, lest anyone falls in the same example of disobedience.

Therefore, brothers, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for by doing these things you shall by no means stumble at any time.

For in this way the entrance will be supplied to you richly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot or blemish;

Therefore always being confident, and knowing that while we are in the body, we are away from home from the Lord

but we are confident and prefer rather to be away from home from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

Have you not sinned if you have brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? Be still, to you shall be his submission, and you shall rule over him.

I will bring them to My holy mountain, and gladden them in My house of prayer; their whole burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations,

But in every nation, he that fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable to Him.

to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He bestowed favor upon us in the Beloved.

Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
