If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
