Always Excel in the Work of the Lord
 
1 Cor 15:58 (KJV)
 Therefore, my beloved brethren,
 be ye stedfast, unmoveable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
 
Mat 28:18-20 (KJV)
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
{19} Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
{20} Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
 and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world.
Amen.
 
Psa 55:22-23 (KJV)
 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee:
he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
 {23} But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction:
bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days;
but I will trust in thee.
 
Psa 112:5-10 (KJV)
A good man showeth favour, and lendeth:
he will guide his affairs with discretion.
 {6} Surely he shall not be moved for ever:
the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
{7} He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:
his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
 {8} His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,
until he see his desire upon his enemies.
{9} He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor;
 his righteousness endureth for ever;
his horn{Heb-symbolic of power} shall be exalted with honour.
{10} The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;
he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:
the desire of the wicked shall perish.
 
Phil 2:9-16 (KJV)
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him,
and given him a name which is above every name:
{10} That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
{11} And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
 to the glory of God the Father.
 
{12} Wherefore, my beloved, as ye 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.
{13} For it is God which worketh in you
both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
{14} Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
{15} That ye may be blameless and harmless,
the sons of God, without rebuke,
in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
{16} Holding forth the word of life;
that I may rejoice in the day of Christ,
 that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
 
Phil 1:9-11 (KJV)
And this I pray,
that your love may abound yet more and more
 in knowledge and in all judgment;
{10} That ye may approve things that are excellent;
that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
{11} Being filled with the fruits of righteousness,
which are by Jesus Christ,
unto the glory and praise of God.
 
Col 2:6-10 (KJV)
 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord,
so walk ye in him:
{7} Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith,
as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
{8} Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world,
 and not after Christ.
{9} For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
{10} And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all principality and power:
 
(Mat 25:14-30 KJV) 
 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country,
 who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
{15} And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one;
to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
{16} Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
{17} And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
{18} But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
 
 {19} After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
{20} And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying,
 Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
 {21} His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant:
 thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things:
 enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
 
{22} He also that had received two talents came and said,
 Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
 {23} His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things:
 enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
 
{24} Then he which had received the one talent came and said,
Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man,
reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strowed:
{25} And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth:
 lo, there thou hast that is thine.
 {26} His lord answered and said unto him,
Thou wicked and slothful servant,
thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strowed:
 {27} Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers,
and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
{28} Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
{29} For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance:
but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
{30} And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
