Luke 13:24

24 a“Strive bto enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives cthe prize? So drun that you may obtain it. 25Every eathlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we fan imperishable. 26So I do not run aimlessly; I gdo not box as one hbeating the air. 27But I discipline my body and ikeep it under control, ▼
▼Greek  I pummel my body and make it a slave
 lest after preaching to others kI myself should be ldisqualified.

Philippians 1:15

15 mSome indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.

Colossians 1:29

29For this nI toil, ostruggling pwith all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

Hebrews 12:4

4In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
