Psalms 44:18

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

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

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.

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

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

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.

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

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

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.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.

make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

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

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.

My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned away.

Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.

My son, don’t forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:

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

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.

But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;

and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don’t swerve from your law.

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries. I haven’t swerved from your testimonies.

Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths,

They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.

I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.

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

that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn away from the commandment to the right hand, or to the left, to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the middle of Israel.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. This people will rise up and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land where they go to be among them, and will forsake me and break my covenant which I have made with them.

“It grieves me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments.” Samuel was angry; and he cried to Yahweh all night.

As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;

and tore the kingdom away from David’s house, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,

Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were twisted like a deceitful bow.

Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.

“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.

“For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.

Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.

She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.’

those who have turned back from following Yahweh, and those who haven’t sought Yahweh nor inquired after him.

They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.

because David did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

because they turned away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,

Establish my footsteps in your word. Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of Yahweh, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.

They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

But they didn’t listen. They didn’t turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.

if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they not obey my voice, then I will repent of the good with which I said I would benefit them.

“Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood at your hand.

Remember Lot’s wife!

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’

to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

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.

Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.

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

For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.

But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth.

You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
