and straining toward what is ahead [what I will do in the future],
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has
called me [in His promise]... (Philippians, 3:13-14)

Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always
try to be kind to each other and to everyone else. Be joyful al-
ways; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this
is God's will for you... (1 Thessalonians, 5:15-18)

Yet when I preach the Gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled
to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel! If I preach
voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply dis-
charging the trust committed to me. What then is my reward?
Just this: that in preaching the Gospel I may offer it free of

charge... (1 Corinthians, 9:16-18)

For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord...
all the joy we have in the Presence of our God... (1 Thessaloni-
ans, 3:8-9)
