10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which you have showed toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil;

9 Murmur not one against another, brethren, lest you be judged: behold, the judge stands before the door.
