3 for we bear incessantly in mind YOUR faithful work*+ and [your] loving labor* and [your] endurance due to [your] hope+ in our Lord Jesus Christ before our God and Father.

8 Faithful is the saying,+ and concerning these things I desire you to make firm assertions constantly, in order that those who have believed God may keep their minds on maintaining fine works.+ These things are fine and beneficial to men.

25 But he who peers* into the perfect law+ that belongs to freedom and who persists in [it], this [man], because he has become, not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work,+ will be happy+ in his doing [it].
