Gal 5:7-11

You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? 8.That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. 9.“A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” 10. I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty.

Eccl. 9:11

1. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
