Romans 15.30-33
Read in context30Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
31That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
32That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
2 Timothy 2.1-10
Read in context1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
Matthew 17.24-18.4
Read in context17:24And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
17:25He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
17:26Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
17:27Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
18:1At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
18:2And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
18:3And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
18:4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
John 15.17-16.2
Read in context15:17These things I command you, that ye love one another.
15:18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
15:19If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
15:20Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
15:21But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
15:22If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
15:23He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
15:24If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
15:25But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
15:26But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
15:27And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
16:1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
16:2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
