Matthew 624 (NLT)

one and love the other, or be devoted to one and
despise the other.

Selflessness
14
Philippians 220-21 (NLT)
I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely
cares about your welfare. All the others care
only for themselves and not for what matters to
Jesus Christ.
15
Romans 152-3 (NLT)
We should please others. If we do what helps
them, we will build them up in the Lord. For even
Christ didnt please himself.

2 Corinthians 1123-28 (NLT)
I have worked harder, been put in jail more
often, been whipped times without number, and
faced death again and again. Five different times
the Jews gave me thirty-nine lashes. Three times
I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three
times I was
21
2 Corinthians 1123-28 (NLT)
shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day
adrift at sea. I have traveled many weary miles.
I have faced danger from flooded rivers and from
robbers. I have faced danger from my own people,
the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have
faced danger
22
2 Corinthians 1123-28 (NLT)
in the cities, in the deserts, and on the stormy
seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim
to be Christians but are not. I have lived with
weariness and pain and sleepless nights. Often I
have been hungry and thirsty and have gone
without food. Often I have
23
2 Corinthians 1123-28 (NLT)
shivered with cold, without enough clothing to
keep me warm. Then, besides all this, I have the
daily burden of how the churches are getting
along.
24
2 Corinthians 49 (NLT)
We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We
get knocked down, but we get up again and keep
going.
25
2 Peter 15-8 (NLT)
So make every effort to apply the benefits of
these promises to your life. Then your faith will
produce a life of moral excellence. A life of
moral excellence leads to knowing God better.
Knowing God leads to self-control. Self-control
leads to patient endurance, and patient
26
2 Peter 15-8 (NLT)
endurance leads to godliness. Godliness leads to
love for other Christians, and finally you will
grow to have genuine love for everyone. The more
you grow like this, the more you will become
productive and useful in your knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
27
James 12-4 (NLT)
Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes
your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For
when your faith is tested, your endurance has a
chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your
endurance is fully developed, you will be strong
in character and ready for anything.

Consider the postage stamp its usefulness
consists in the ability to stick to one thing
till it gets there. Josh Billings

You never really lose until you quit trying.

If at first you dont succeed, try, try, again.
Then quit. Theres no use being a fool about
it. W.C. Fields
