Winning

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

…because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.
