^58 (A)Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in ^(B)the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord ^(C)your labor is not in vain.

⁹ And ^(A)let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, ^(B)if we do not give up.

^7 (A)But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, ^(B)for your work shall be rewarded.”

¹⁰ For ^(A)God is not unjust so as to overlook ^(B)your work and the love that you have shown for his name in ^(C)serving the saints, as you still do.

¹⁶ holding fast to ^(A)the word of life, so that in ^(B)the day of Christ ^(C)I may be proud that ^(D)I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

⁸ He who plants and he who waters are one, and each ^(A)will receive his wages according to his labor.

¹⁷ You therefore, beloved, ^(A)knowing this beforehand, ^(B)take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. ¹⁸ But ^(C)grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ^(D)To him be the glory both now and to the day of ^(E)eternity. Amen.

^23 (A)if indeed you continue in the faith, ^(B)stable and steadfast, not shifting from ^(C)the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed ^(D)in all creation^[a] under heaven, ^(E)and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

^15 (A)Through him then let us continually offer up ^(B)a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(C)the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. ¹⁶ Do not neglect to do good and ^(D)to share what you have, for such ^(E)sacrifices are pleasing to God.
