- Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.
- The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
- Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful.
- Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices. - One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city. - To those who by patiently doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
- Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,
but one who has a hasty temper exalts folly. - With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.
- May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
- But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
- For you need endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.
- Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord! - For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.
- Proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching.
- Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
- For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.
