For whatever things were written before were written for our learning. That we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
