2 John 1:8

³⁵Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

¹¹I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

¹⁴If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

⁸Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

¹⁵looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,

⁴Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

⁹“But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.

³⁶He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

¹⁵that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world, ¹⁶holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

²⁴For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

²⁵“Behold, I have told you beforehand.
