“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.”
“For I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me face to face,”
“since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.”
“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses.”
