Hebrews 13:5-9
New International Version
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money(A) and be content with what you have,(B) because God has said,
6 So we say with confidence,
7 Remember your leaders,(E) who spoke the word of God(F) to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate(G) their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.(H)
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.(I) It is good for our hearts to be strengthened(J) by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods,(K) which is of no benefit to those who do so.(L)

Hebrews 12:1-3
New International Version
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run(A) with perseverance(B) the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus,(C) the pioneer(D) and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,(E) scorning its shame,(F) and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.(G) 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary(H) and lose heart.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21
New International Version
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,(A) the new creation(B) has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!(C) 18 All this is from God,(D) who reconciled us to himself through Christ(E) and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.(F) And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,(G) as though God were making his appeal through us.(H) We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.(I) 21 God made him who had no sin(J) to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(K)

2 Corinthians 2:14-17
New International Version
14 But thanks be to God,(A) who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma(B) of the knowledge(C) of him everywhere. 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma(D) of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.(E) 16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death;(F) to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?(G) 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit.(H) On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity,(I) as those sent from God.(J)
2 Corinthians 5:6-8
New International Version
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight.(A) 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.(B)
