yourself.

• Romans 57-87Very rarely will anyone die for a
  righteous man, though for a good man someone
  might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates
  his own love for us in this While we were still
  sinners, Christ died for us.

• John 637-3837All that the Father gives me will
  come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never
  drive away. 38For I have come down from heaven
  not to do my will but to do the will of him who
  sent me.

• Acts 429-3129Now, Lord, consider their threats
  and enable your servants to speak your word with
  great boldness. 30Stretch out your hand to heal
  and perform miraculous signs and wonders through
  the name of your holy servant Jesus." 31After
  they prayed, the place where they were meeting
  was shaken. And they were all filled with the
  Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

short-term fixes.

• Galatians 67-107Do not be deceived God cannot
  be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who
  sows to please his sinful nature, from that
  nature will reap destruction the one who sows to
  please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap
  eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing
  good, for at the proper time we will reap a
  harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we
  have opportunity, let us do good to all people,
  especially to those who belong to the family of
  believers.

• Psalm 1265-65Those who sow in tears will reap
  with songs of joy. 6He who goes out weeping,
  carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of
  joy, carrying sheaves with him.

• Ezekiel 2228-3028They say, This is what the
  Sovereign LORD says-when the LORD has not
  spoken. 29The people of the land practice
  extortion and commit robbery they oppress the
  poor and needy and mistreat the alien, denying
  them justice. 30"I looked for a man among them
  who would build up the wall and stand before me
  in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not
  have to destroy it, but I found none.

• Proverbs 1322A good man leaves an inheritance
  for his childrens children, but a sinners
  wealth is stored up for the righteous.

• Matthew 266-136While Jesus was in Bethany in
  the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, 7a
  woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very
  expensive perfume, which she poured on his head
  as he was reclining at the table. 8When the
  disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why
  this waste?" they asked. 9"This perfume could
  have been sold at a high price and the money
  given to the poor." 10Aware of this, Jesus said
  to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She
  has done a beautiful thing to me.

• 11The poor you will always have with you, but you
  will not always have me. 12When she poured this
  perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for
  burial. 13I tell you the truth, wherever this
  gospel is preached throughout the world, what she
  has done will also be told, in memory of her."
