Competition

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.

Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

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.

With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.

I saw that all labor and success spring from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.

But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another.
