"Blessed is the man who persevers under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. "
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to those who have longed for his appearing. "
"Let us not weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. "
