Hebrews 12:5

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.

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:

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.”

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

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

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.

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.

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.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

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

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

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.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

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

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.

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.

From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

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

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

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

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

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.

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

for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

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.

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

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.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

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.

You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.

My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:

Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.

Strengthen the weak hands, and make the feeble knees firm.

The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.

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

When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’

“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

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

saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

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

I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips.

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

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—

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

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

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

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law,

For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.

My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won’t forget your law.

Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

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

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.

The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold, we perish! We are undone! We are all undone!

Joshua said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? I wish that we had been content and lived beyond the Jordan!

But now it has come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.

“For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.

For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.

Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

I will delight myself in your statutes. I will not forget your word.

Yahweh, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

“I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned; for you are Yahweh my God.

Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.

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

My son, don’t forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:

Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth.

He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

They remembered his words,

It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
