2 Corinthians

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

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
