2 Peter 1:10,19• 10Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;
 19And we have the prophetic word made surer, to which ye do well taking heed (as to a lamp shining in an obscure place) until the day dawn and the morning star arise in your hearts; (2 Peter 1:10,19)
what.
1 Thess. 2:1‑11• 1For ye know yourselves, brethren, our entering in which we had to you, that it has not been in vain;
 2but, having suffered before and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the glad tidings of God with much earnest striving.
 3For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;
 4but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.
 5For we have not at any time been among you with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God is witness;
 6nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;
 7but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.
 8Thus, yearning over you, we had found our delight in having imparted to you not only the glad tidings of God, but our own lives also, because ye had become beloved of us.
 9For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, not to be chargeable to any one of you, we have preached to you the glad tidings of God.
 10*Ye* are witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:
 11as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify, (1 Thess. 2:1‑11)
;
Acts 20:18‑19,33‑35• 18And when they were come to him, he said to them, *Ye* know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia,
 19serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;
 33I have coveted the silver or gold or clothing of no one.
 34Yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my wants, and to those who were with me.
 35I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring we ought to come in aid of the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. (Acts 20:18‑19,33‑35)
;
1 Cor. 2:2‑5• 2For I did not judge it well to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and *him* crucified.
 3And *I* was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling;
 4and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power;
 5that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power. (1 Cor. 2:2‑5)
;
1 Cor. 4:9‑13• 9For I think that God has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
 10*We* are fools for Christ's sake, but *ye* prudent in Christ: *we* weak, but *ye* strong: *ye* glorious, but *we* in dishonour.
 11To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are in nakedness, and buffeted, and wander without a home,
 12and labour, working with our own hands. Railed at, we bless; persecuted, we suffer it;
 13insulted, we entreat: we are become as the offscouring of the world, the refuse of all, until now. (1 Cor. 4:9‑13)
;
1 Cor. 10:33• 33Even as *I* also please all in all things; not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved. (1 Cor. 10:33)
;
2 Cor. 4:1‑2• 1Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.
 2But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God. (2 Cor. 4:1‑2)
;
2 Cor. 6:3‑10• 3giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;
 4but in everything commending ourselves as God's ministers, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,
 5in stripes, in prisons, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
 6in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
 7in the word of truth, in the power of God; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left,
 8through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report: as deceivers, and true;
 9as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death;
 10as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things. (2 Cor. 6:3‑10)
;

;
2 Thess. 3:7‑9• 7For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;
 8nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:
 9not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us. (2 Thess. 3:7‑9)
;
1 Tim. 4:12‑16• 12Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
 13Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
 14Be not negligent of the gift that is in thee, which has been given to thee through prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the elderhood.
 15Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all.
 16Give heed to thyself and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, thou shalt save both thyself and those that hear thee. (1 Tim. 4:12‑16)

for.
1 Cor. 9:19‑23• 19For being free from all, I have made myself bondman to all, that I might gain the most possible.
 20And I became to the Jews as a Jew, in order that I might gain the Jews: to those under law, as under law, not being myself under law, in order that I might gain those under law:
 21to those without law, as without law, (not as without law to God, but as legitimately subject to Christ,) in order that I might gain those without law.
 22I became to the weak, as weak, in order that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, in order that at all events I might save some.
 23And I do all things for the sake of the glad tidings, that I may be fellow-partaker with them. (1 Cor. 9:19‑23)
;
2 Tim. 2:10• 10For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that *they* also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (2 Tim. 2:10)
• The Word had power in their heart—came to it as the Word of God; the Spirit Himself revealed Himself in it, giving the consciousness of His presence; and the consequence of this was the full assurance of the truth in all its power, in all its reality. (“1 Thessalonians 1” by J.N. Darby)
• The glad tidings as preached by Paul and those with him, "our gospel," is the full testimony of what is in Christ for the lost. (“On 1 Thessalonians 1” by W. Kelly)
