Ephesians 3:13

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Seek Yahweh, and you will live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.

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.

Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

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.”

how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,

If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.

The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.

Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

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.

But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

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

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.

For what great nation is there that has a god so near to them as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him?

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.

For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”

Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,

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

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.

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.

If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

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

“By your endurance you will win your lives.

Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

So he took him, and brought him to the commanding officer, and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”

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

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

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

For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,

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

For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

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,

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

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.

May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”

and shall tell them, “Hear, Israel, you draw near today to battle against your enemies. Don’t let your heart faint! Don’t be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them;

Seek Yahweh while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.

“Let all their wickedness come before you. Do to them as you have done to me for all my transgressions. For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.

In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Don’t be afraid, Zion. Don’t let your hands be weak.”

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

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

and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.

forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

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

I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men:
