Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

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,

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.

Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
