²¹ So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

⁹ And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

²⁹ Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
