Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
