Romans 13:11

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you.

Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near, when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them;”

Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.

But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”

Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

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

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.

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

If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
