1:12
The things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel.
1:29
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him.
2:14-16
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life-in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
3:14
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
