Psalm 63:8

And from the days of John the Baptist till now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

Strive to enter in by the narrow gate; for many, I tell you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

yet because this widow makes me trouble I will give her judgment, that she may not vex me by her continual coming.

And so, my beloved, as you always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;

for which I also labor, striving with his power which operates in me with power.

And so, my beloved, as you always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;

for which I also labor, striving with his power which operates in me with power.
