For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, {which is} new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and {I will write upon him} my new name.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. {having...: or, having overcome all}

And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

If any {man} come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

But thanks {be} to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. {taketh away: or, beareth}

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, {even} our faith. {is born: Gr. has been born}

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Buy the truth, and sell {it} not; {also} wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

In the mouth of the foolish {is} a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

Take fast hold of instruction; let {her} not go: keep her; for she {is} thy life.

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept {me from} the paths of the destroyer.

And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and {some} of you shall they cause to be put to death.

Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
