| Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. | 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 |
| Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. Physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. | 1 Timothy 4:8 |
| This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. | Isaiah 66:2 |
| "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you, and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile." | Jeremiah 29:11-14 |
