O LORD, You have seen how I am wronged; Judge my case. You have seen all their vengeance, all their schemes against me. You have heard their reproach, O LORD, all their schemes, the lips of my enemies and their whispering against me all day. Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their taunting song.

Who knows if He will turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him – a grain offering and a drink offering for the LORD your God?”

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.”

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the of the gospel of peace; above all taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints -”

Philippians 2:12

“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to work on behalf of his good pleasure.”

1 Peter 5:8
