1 Corinthians 3:14

Let all that you do be done in love.

Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

Only be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you. Don’t turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.

Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”

Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth, “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him!’ ”

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.

Behold, the Lord Yahweh will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of Yahweh’s house is finished.

so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

“Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.

For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

You will also be a crown of beauty in Yahweh‘s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.

“Those who are wise among the people will instruct many; yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, many days.

Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;

Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,

I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.

Yahweh says: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work will be rewarded,” says Yahweh. “They will come again from the land of the enemy.

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,

You are witnesses of these things.

Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.

but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—

Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

“Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.

But you be strong, and don’t let your hands be slack; for your work will be rewarded.”

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

Those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the expanse. Those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever and ever.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

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

Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed.

When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
