And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.

For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.

A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.

Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is.

God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”

Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.

Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.

When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

A wicked person earns deceptive wages, but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.

Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.

Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”

“On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him.”

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.

Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

“And with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him.

Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.

So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
