| Wait quietly for the Lord and be patient until he comes. Do not fret over the man who prospers because of his evil schemes. | Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. |
| But if we hope for what we do not yet see, then we wait for it with patience. | But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. |
|
| Place your hope in the Lord: be strong and courageous in your heart, and place your hope in the Lord. | Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. |
| Preach the message; be persistent in doing so, whether in season or out of season; convince, reprove, and encourage, but with great patience and instruction. | Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. |
| Blessed is the man who perseveres when he is tempted, for when he has been proven, he will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. | Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. |
| For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that by perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we may continue to 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. |
| Be joyful in your hope. Be patient in times of affliction. Persevere in prayer. | Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer. |
| A patient man shows good sense, but a quick-tempered man displays the height of folly. | He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. |
| It is better to be a patient man rather than a warrior, one who controls his temper rather than one who captures a city. | He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. |
| The Lord does not delay in keeping his promise, as some think in terms of delay, but he is patient with you. It is not his wish that any should perish but rather that all should be brought to repentance. | The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. |
| Love is patient; love is charitable. Love is not envious; it does not have an inflated opinion of itself; it is not filled with its own importance. Love is never rude; it does not seek its own advantage. It is not prone to anger; neither does it brood over setbacks. | Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil. |
