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

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord's work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

⁹ Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up.

²⁹ for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
