After these events, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision:

Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield;
your reward will be very great.

May the Lord reward you for what you have done, and may you receive a full reward from the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”

The wicked man earns an empty wage,
but the one who sows righteousness, a true reward.

Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people, to be seen by them. Otherwise, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Anyone who welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. And anyone who welcomes a righteous person because he’s righteous will receive a righteous person’s reward.

But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.

And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

and singled out for God’s good news—

Whoever serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by men.

For he who is called by the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave.

For am I now trying to win the favor of people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.

Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart.

Simeon Peter, a slave and an apostle of Jesus Christ:

To those who have obtained a faith of equal privilege with ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.

To those who are the called, loved

by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ.
