1 Peter 4:19

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing what is right.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.

See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.

Don’t say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”

not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is at hand. Their doom rushes at them.”

Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.

You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.

It may be that Yahweh will look on the wrong done to me, and that Yahweh will repay me good for the cursing of me today.”

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

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.

He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

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

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

that I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

This is what Yahweh who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

You say also, ‘Behold, what a weariness it is!’ and you have sniffed at it”, says Yahweh of Armies; “and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this at your hand?” says Yahweh.

Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

“He trusts in Yahweh. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”

If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

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

He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.

You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.

For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”

But now Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

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.

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.

“But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,

But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,

But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.

Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.

“Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Susa, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.”

Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?

You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire for the work of your hands.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.

Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.’ ”

the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.

But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.

My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; because as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”

They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
