13 I am strong for everything in Him who gives me strength.

13 for it is God who, in his good-will is ever working in you both will and deed.

13 Brothers, I do not regard myself to have yet laid hold of it; but this one thing I do, forgetting what is behind me, but straining every nerve toward that which lies ahead,14 I am ever pressing on toward the goal, for the prize of Gods heavenward call in Christ Jesus.

24 Do you not know that in a foot-race, though all run, only one receives the prize? So run that you may win.25 Every man who contends in the games continually trains himself by all manner of self-restraint. Now they do it to get a fading garland, but we, one that is unfading.26 For my part, then, I run with no wavering to the goal. I box not as one beating the air,27 but I bruise my body and keep it in subjection, lest having called others to the contest, I should myself be disqualified.

1 Seeing then that we are encircled with this great cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin that clings about us. Let us run with patience the race that is set before us,2 looking unto Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and has now taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.3 Compare yourselves with him who endured such hostility against himself at the hands of sinners, lest you grow weary, fainting in your souls.

23 And whatever you do, do it heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.

13 "And whatever you ask in my name I will do; that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14 "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;20 teaching them to observe every command which I have given you. and lo! I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."

29 "So do not be asking what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, and be not of doubtful mind.30 "For all these things the nations of the world are seeking; but your Father knows that you have need of these things.

10 For indeed when I was with you, I used to charge you, "If any man will not work, he shall not eat."11 But I hear that there are those of your number who are leading idle and disorderly lives, who are not busy, but mere busybodies.12 Now all such I command and entreat, by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, to work in quietness. and to earn their own living.13 But you, brothers, must not grow weary in well-doing.
