sa pagbuhat niini, maluwas mo ang imong kaugalingon, ug sila nga nagapatalinghug kanimo. 1
Timothy 4:16
35 Busa, ayaw ninyo isalikway ang inyong pagsalig, nga may daku nga balus sa katumbasan.
36 Kay nagakinahanglan kamo ug pagpailub, nga sa nabuhat na ninyo ang kabubut-on sa Ginoo, madawat
ninyo ang saad.
37 Kay sa usa pa ka diriyut nga panahon, ang umaanhi, moanhi gayud ug dili magalangan.
Hebrews 10:35-37
116 Kay pakitaan ko siya sa daghang mga butang nga
kinahanglan pagaantuson niya tungod sa akong ngalan.

6. 3 Ug dili lamang ingon niini, kondili nga nagahimaya usab kita sa atong mga kagul-
anan, sa nahibaloan ta nga ang kagul-anan nagabunga ug kalig-on;
4 Ug ang kalig-on nagabunga sa pagkasinulayan; ug ang pagkasinulayan nagabunga
sa paglaum;
5 Ug ang paglaum dili magapakaulaw; kay ang gugma sa Dios ginabubo sa atong
mga kasingkasing pinaagi sa Espiritu Santo nga gihatag kanato. Romans 5:1-5
1 Busa, sa ginapakamatarung kita tungod sa pagtoo, may
pakigdait kita sa Dios pinaagi sa atong Ginoong
Jesucristo;
2 Nga pinaagi kaniya usab may pultahan kita, tungod sa
pagtoo niini nga gracia nga atong ginabarugan; ug
nagakalipay kita sa paglaum sa himaya sa Dios.
Romans 5:1-2

17 Kay ang among magaan nga kagul-anan, nga sa
makadiyut lamang nagabuhat alang kanamo ug labaw pa

butang nga dili makita, mga walay-katapusan.

Matthew 7:24-27 (NKJV) 24 "Therefore whoever hears these
sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man
who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the
floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it
did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 But everyone who
hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a
foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain
descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on
that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."
Ecclesiastes 5:18 (NKJV) 18 Here is what I
have seen: It is good and fitting for one to
eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all
his labor in which he toils under the sun
all the days of his life which God gives
him; for it is his heritage.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) 13 No temptation
has overtaken you except such as is common
to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow
you to be tempted beyond what you are able,
but with the temptation will also make the way
of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
1 Peter 5:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Therefore humble yourselves
under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in
due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares
for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast
in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are
experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
James 1:2-4 2 Mga igsoon ko, isipon
ninyo ingon nga bug-os nga kalipay, sa
mahulog kamo sa mga nagakalainlain nga
pagtintal;
3 Kay hingbaloan, nga ang pagsulay sa
inyong pagtoo, nagabunga ug pagpailub.
4 Ug pasagdi ang pagpailub nga
magahingpit sa iyang buhat, aron
mamahingpit kamo ug managsangkap sa
walay makulang kaninyo.
