let us conduct ourselves becomingl<\/span>y as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. [14] But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.<\/div>\n*<\/p>\n
1 Corinthians 9:22-27<\/span>\u00a0To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have\u00a0become all things to all men<\/span>, that I might by all means\u00a0save some<\/span>. [23] I do it all\u00a0for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings<\/span>. [24] Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So\u00a0run that you may obtain it<\/span>. [25] Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. [26] Well, I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air; [27] but I pommel my body and subdue it,\u00a0lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified<\/span>.<\/p>\n*<\/p>\n
Philippians 2:12<\/span>-13<\/span>\u00a0Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence,\u00a0work out your own salvation<\/span>\u00a0with fear and trembling; [13] for God is at work in you, both to will and to\u00a0work<\/span>\u00a0for his good pleasure.<\/p>\n*<\/p>\n
Philippians 3:7-16<\/span>\u00a0But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. [8] Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.\u00a0For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things<\/span>, and count them as refuse,\u00a0in order that I may gain Christ<\/span>\u00a0[9]\u00a0and be found in him<\/span>, not having a righteousness of my own, based on law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith; [10] that I may know him and the power of his resurrection,\u00a0and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death<\/span>, [11]\u00a0that if possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead<\/span>. [12]\u00a0Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my ow<\/span>n, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. [13] Brethren,\u00a0I do not consider that I have made it my own<\/span>; but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and\u00a0straining forward to what lies ahead,<\/span>\u00a0[14]\u00a0I press on toward the goal for the prize<\/span>\u00a0of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. [15] Let those of us who are mature be thus minded; and if in anything you are otherwise minded, God will reveal that also to you. [16] Only\u00a0let us hold true to what we have attained<\/span>.<\/p>\n*<\/p>\n
2 Thessalonians 2:13<\/span>\u00a0. . . God chose you from the beginning\u00a0to be saved, through sanctification<\/span>\u00a0by the Spirit and belief in the truth.<\/p>\n*<\/p>\n
1 Timothy 2:15<\/span>\u00a0Yet woman will be\u00a0saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith<\/span>\u00a0and love and holiness, with modesty.<\/p>\n*<\/p>\n
1 Timothy 4:16<\/b>\u00a0Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; hold to that, for by so doing\u00a0you will save both yourself and your hearers<\/span>.<\/p>\n*<\/p>\n
2 Timothy 3:15<\/span>\u00a0. . . the sacred writings which are able to\u00a0instruct you for salvation<\/span>\u00a0through faith in Christ Jesus.\u00a0[we do the work of reading Scripture and this in turn can save us, so we helped save ourselves by reading it]<\/span><\/p>\n*<\/p>\n
Hebrews 6:9-11<\/span>\u00a0Though we speak thus, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things that belong to\u00a0salvation<\/span>. [10] For God is not so unjust as to overlook\u00a0your work<\/span>\u00a0and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do. [11] And we desire each one of you to show the same\u00a0earnestness in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end<\/span>,<\/p>\n*<\/p>\n
1 Peter 2:2\u00a0<\/span>Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may\u00a0grow up to salvation<\/span>;<\/p>\n*<\/p>\n
2 Peter 1:10<\/b>\u00a0Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to\u00a0confirm your call and election<\/span>, for if you do this you will never fall;<\/p>\n*<\/p>\n
