1 Thessalonians 2:8-9 So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to
you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had
become dear to us. For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for
laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we
preached to you the gospel of God.
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be
accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of man.
John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
