James 5:8

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

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.

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.

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.

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.

Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

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

They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days.”

Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things.

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

For I am Yahweh. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word, and will perform it,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ ”

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

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.

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

“Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.

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

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

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

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,

Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.

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

My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.

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

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

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

“Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

I have hoped for your salvation, Yahweh. I have done your commandments.

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

It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

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

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

Better is the end of a thing than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.

I have waited for your salvation, Yahweh.

Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of Yahweh comes, for it is close at hand:

But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

You shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel; yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with you.

For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

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