22 And you will be hated by all people on account of my name,+ but the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+

7 You were running well.+ Who hindered you from continuing to obey the truth?

14 I am pressing on toward the goal for the prize+ of the upward call+ of God by means of Christ Jesus.

7 I have fought the fine fight,+ I have run the race to the finish,+ I have observed the faith.* 8 From this time on, there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness,+ which the Lord, the righteous judge,+ will give me as a reward in that day,+ yet not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his manifestation.
