| For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. | For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. |
| Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. | Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. |
|
| And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. | And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope. |
| Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. | Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. |
| But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. | And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. |
| But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. | But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. |
| Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus. | Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus. |
| For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. | For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. |
| Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ. | And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. |
