Job 35:3
35:3 But you say, ‘What will it profit you,’
and, ‘What do I gain by not sinning?’
Psalms 73:13
73:13 I concluded, “Surely in vain I have kept my motives pure
and maintained a pure lifestyle.
Malachi 3:14-15
3:14 You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God. How have we been helped
by keeping his requirements and going about like mourners before the
Lord who rules over all?
3:15 So now we consider the arrogant to be happy; indeed, those who practice evil are successful.
In fact, those who challenge
God escape!’”
Luke 9:25
9:25 For what does it benefit a person
if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?
