13 Now we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you be sorrowful as those who have no hope.
36 For you have need of endurance, so that having done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
7 But such things as were gain to me, these I have considered loss for the sake of Christ.
8 More than that I also consider all things to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have sustained the loss of all things, and I consider them to be rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed in us.
4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
7 so that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though being tested with fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
18 I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you.
