- Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
- For I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.
- For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
- I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
- For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!
