My soul, be still only before God; for my expectation is from Him.

The hope of the righteous is gladness, but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

For surely there is a hereafter, and your hope shall not be cut off.

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

O my God, I trust in You; do not let me be ashamed; let not my enemies triumph over me.

Let my heart be whole regarding Your Statutes, that I may not be ashamed.

Uphold me according to Your Word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

But Israel shall be saved in Jehovah with an everlasting salvation. You shall not be ashamed nor humiliated to everlasting eternity.

For the Lord Jehovah will help Me; therefore I have not been ashamed. Therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Do not fear, for you shall not be ashamed; nor be humiliated, for you shall not be put to shame. For you shall forget the shame of your youth, and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more.

And hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

As it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.

For if in anything I have exulted to him about you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our exulting to Titus was found true.

For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed;

and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this regard.

And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He is revealed, we may have confidence and not be distanced from Him in shame at His coming.

and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the Word without fear.

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us manifests the aroma of His knowledge in every place.

To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

Yes, and if I am being poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness, and to iniquity unto iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world; how to please her husband.

and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto Him who died for them and rose again.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you.

Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save Me out of this hour? But for this purpose I came unto this hour.

Father, glorify Your name. Then a voice came from Heaven, saying, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.

This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, Follow Me.

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Then Paul answered, What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord over both the dead and the living.

I affirm, by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die throughout the day.

always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

I now rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, on behalf of His body, which is the church,

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

For this reason I will not be negligent to always remind you of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.

knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ made known to me.
