Revelation 2:3

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.

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

Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,

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.

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.

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Pray without ceasing.

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.

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

“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.

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

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

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.

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.

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:

Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”

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

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

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

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.

Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

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.

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

He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me, isn’t worthy of me.

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.

Always rejoice.

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;

Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

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.

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

and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

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,

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—

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,

For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

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.

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

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

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

Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.

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

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

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

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

For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control perseverance; and in perseverance godliness;

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.

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.

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

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.

that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

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.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
