Isaiah 61:10-11
New King James Version
10 (A)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For (B)He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
(C)As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its bud,
As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,
So the Lord God will cause (D)righteousness and (E)praise to spring forth before all the nations.
1 Corinthians 9:25

25 And everyone who competes for the prize [a]is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for (A)an imperishable crown.
