²¹ So we went on with the work: and half of them had spears in their hands from the dawn of the morning till the stars were seen.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me has not been for nothing; for I did more work than all of them; though not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

⁵⁸ For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

⁹ And let us not get tired of well-doing; for at the right time we will get in the grain, if we do not give way to weariness.

²⁹ And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.
