1 Chronicles 29:14-16

14“But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. 15 aFor we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are blike a shadow, and there is no abiding.
Septuagint, Vulgate; Hebrew hope, or prospect
16O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own.

1 Corinthians 15:10

10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, dI worked harder than any of them, ethough it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.

Colossians 1:28-29

28Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that fwe may present everyone gmature in Christ. 29For this hI toil, istruggling jwith all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

2 Timothy 4:7-8

7 kI have fought the good fight, lI have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8Henceforth there is mlaid up for me nthe crown of righteousness, which the Lord, othe righteous judge, will award to me on pthat day, and not only to me but also to all qwho have loved his appearing.

James 2:18-26

18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith rapart from your works, and I will show you my faith sby my works. 19 tYou believe that God is one; you do well. Even uthe demons believeand shudder! 20Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 vWas not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that wfaith was active along with his works, and faith was completed xby his works; 23and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, yAbraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a zfriend of God. 24You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25And in the same way was not also aaRahab the prostitute justified by works abwhen she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
