Patience
Amplified Bible
Romans 5:3
Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph
in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure
and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving
endurance.
James 1:3-4
3Be assured and understand that the trial
and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and
patience.
4But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a
thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully
developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.
Revelation 14:12
Here [comes in a call for] the steadfastness of the
saints [the patience, the endurance of the people of God], those who
[habitually] keep God's commandments and [their] faith in Jesus.
Ephesians 4:2
Living as becomes you] with complete lowliness of
mind (humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness, mildness),
with patience, bearing with one another and making allowances
because you love one another.
Hebrews 6:12
In order that you may not grow disinterested and
become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those
who through faith (by their leaning of the entire personality on God
in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and
goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now]
inheriting the promises.
James 5:7-8
7So be patient, brethren, [as you wait] till the coming of the Lord. See
how the farmer waits expectantly for the precious harvest from the
land. [See how] he keeps up his patient [vigil] over it until it
receives the early and late rains.
8So
you also must be patient. Establish your hearts [strengthen and
confirm them in the final certainty], for the coming of the Lord is
very near.
