James 5:7

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.

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

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

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.

Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

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.

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,

But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’ ”

“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.

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

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

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

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

who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

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

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.

But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

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;

Therefore the showers have been withheld and there has been no latter rain; yet you have had a prostitute’s forehead and you refused to be ashamed.

But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

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.

holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”

My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.

Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
