Colossians 1:23

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.

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.

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

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.

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

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.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

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.

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.

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.
