2 Corinthians 5:12
5:12 We are not trying to commend
ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to be proud of us,
so that you may be able to answer those who take pride
in outward appearance
and not in what is in the heart.
2 Corinthians 5:1
Living by Faith, Not by Sight
5:1 For we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in, is dismantled, we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens.
Colossians 3:21-23
3:21 Fathers,
do not provoke
your children, so they will not become disheartened.
3:22 Slaves,
obey your earthly
masters in every respect, not only when they are watching – like those who are strictly people-pleasers – but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord.
3:23 Whatever you are doing,
work at it with enthusiasm,
as to the Lord and not for people,
Philippians 1:26
1:26 so that what you can be proud of may increase
because of me in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you.
