We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,

I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”

He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.

“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.

Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.

If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.

But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;

to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,

Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.

rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed.

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,

I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.

It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

Those ransomed by Yahweh will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Father’s glory, with the holy angels.”

It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
