Strive

For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man.

It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.

Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.

Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
