Matthew 10:22

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.

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:

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.”

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.

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.

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

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

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

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

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

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

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.

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.

“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.

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

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

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 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.

He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

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

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.

Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

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.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even 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;

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.

Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.

Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.

Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.

I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

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

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

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

He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

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

“By your endurance you will win your lives.

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

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

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.

For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

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 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.

He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

Hear Yahweh’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

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

The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”

But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end.

Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.

Yahweh, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so don’t take me away. Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.
