哥林多前書 9:24
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.
豈不知在場上賽跑的都跑,但得獎賞的只有一人?你們也當這樣跑,好叫你們得著獎賞。
腓立比書 2:3
- 4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,
not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
凡事不可結黨,不可貪圖虛浮的榮耀;只要存心謙卑,各人看別人比自己強。
各人不要單顧自己的事,也要顧別人的事。
歌羅西書 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
無論做什麼,都要從心裡做,像是給主做的,不是給人做的,
提摩太後書 2:5
Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor's crown except by competing according to the rules.
人若在場上比武,非按規矩,就不能得冠冕。

傳道書 2:22
- 26
What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?
All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.
A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God,
for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?
To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
人在日光之下勞碌累心,在他一切的勞碌上得著什麼呢?
因為他日日憂慮,他的勞苦成為愁煩,連夜間心也不安。這也是虛空。
人莫強如吃喝,且在勞碌中享福,我看這也是出於神的手。
論到吃用、享福,誰能勝過我呢?
神喜悅誰,就給誰智慧、知識,和喜樂;惟有罪人,神使他勞苦,叫他將所收聚的、所堆積的歸給神所喜悅的人。這也是虛空,也是捕風。
使徒行傳 20:24
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace.
我卻不以性命為念,也不看為寶貴,只要行完我的路程,成就我從主耶穌所領受的職事,證明神恩惠的福音。
加拉太書 6:14
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
但我斷不以別的誇口,只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架;因這十字架,就我而論,世界已經釘在十字架上;就世界而論,我已經釘在十字架上。
傳道書 4:4
And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
我又見人為一切的勞碌和各樣靈巧的工作就被鄰舍嫉妒。這也是虛空,也是捕風。
約翰福音 15:13
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.
人為朋友捨命,人的愛心沒有比這個大的。
哥林多前書 9:25
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
凡較力爭勝的,諸事都有節制,他們不過是要得能壞的冠冕;我們卻是要得不能壞的冠冕。
腓立比書 2:3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,
凡事不可結黨,不可貪圖虛浮的榮耀;只要存心謙卑,各人看別人比自己強。
雅各書 4:6
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble."
但他賜更多的恩典,所以經上說:神阻擋驕傲的人,賜恩給謙卑的人。

你們要先求他的國和他的義,這些東西都要加給你們了。
馬太福音 19:30
But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
然而,有許多在前的,將要在後;在後的,將要在前。」

因為,出於神的話,沒有一句不帶能力的。」

我們行善,不可喪志;若不灰心,到了時候就要收成。
