2 Timothy 2:3-5

3 ^aShare in suffering as ^ba good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier ^cgets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 ^dAn athlete is not ^ecrowned unless he competes according to the rules.

2 Timothy 4:7

7 ^fI have fought the good fight, ^gI have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Hebrews 11:32-34

32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of ^hGideon, ⁱBarak, ^jSamson, ^kJephthah, of ^lDavid and ^mSamuel and the prophets— 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, ⁿstopped the mouths of lions, 34 ^oquenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, ^pbecame mighty in war, ^qput foreign armies to flight.
