^36 (A)For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, ^(B)you may receive the promise:

³⁴ Jesus said to them, ^(A)“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to ^(B)finish His work.

⁴² Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, ^[a]if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”

⁵⁰ For ^(A)whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

Preeminence of Christ

^9 (A)For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask ^(B)that you may be filled with ^(C)the knowledge of His will ^(D)in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

¹⁸ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

^6 (A)not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

² And ^(A)do not be conformed to this world, but ^(B)be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may ^(C)prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

⁴⁰ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, ^(A)that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
