3:11
6:9 -RSB- The crown is before you , and it is an incorruptible one ; so run , that you may obtain it . -LSB- 1 Cor . 9:24-27 -RSB- Some there be that set out for this crown , and , after they have gone far for it , another comes in , and takes it from them : hold fast , therefore , that you have ; let no man take your crown . -LSB- Rev. 3:11 -RSB- You are not yet out of the gun-shot of the devil ; you have not resisted unto blood , striving against sin ; let the kingdom be always before you , and believe steadfastly concerning things that are invisible . Let nothing that is on this side the other world get within you ; and , above all , look well to your own hearts , and to the lusts thereof , `` for they are deceitful above all things , and desperately wicked '' ; set your faces like a flint ; you have all power in heaven and earth on your side . -LCB- 213 -RCB- CHR .
