  14. Do not be surprised at the fiery trialthat has come on you to test you,as though something strangewere happening to you.However, if you suffer as a Christian,do not be ashamed, but praise Godthat you bear that name.(1 Peter 4:12,16)

  21. I press on to take hold of thatfor which Christ Jesus took hold of me.Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behindandstrainingtowardwhatisahead – I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.(Philippians 3:12-14)

  24. Therefore I do not runlike someone running aimlessly;and I do not fight likea boxer beating the air.No, I strike a blow to my bodyand make it my slaveso that after I have preached to others,I will not be disqualified for the prize.(1 Corinthians 9:24-27)
