Patience

in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap--not desponding;

and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect <FI>it<Fi> .

with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love,

Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.

The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices. — read the full passage →

for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;

Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,

A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.

For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking towards you--an affirmation of Jehovah; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give to you posterity and hope.

But those expecting Jehovah pass <FI>to<Fi> power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!

Better <FI>is<Fi> the latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better <FI>is<Fi> the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit.

the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,

Whoso is slow to anger <FI>is<Fi> of great understanding, And whoso is short in temper is exalting folly.

but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, For anger in the bosom of fools resteth.

Better <FI>is<Fi> the slow to anger than the mighty, And the ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city.

And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus;

for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise,

preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

Jehovah doth fight for you, and ye keep silent.'

So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,

and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;

Look unto Jehovah--be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!

Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain--early and latter; — read the full passage →

And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord <FI>is<Fi> as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;

Merciful and gracious <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

And rend your heart, and not your garments, And turn back unto Jehovah your God, For gracious and merciful <FI>is<Fi> He, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And He hath repented concerning the evil.

`Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come;

And therefore doth wait Jehovah to favour you, And therefore He is exalted to pity you, For a God of judgment <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, O the blessedness of all waiting for Him.
