2 Peter 1:6

³⁶For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

³Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

¹⁹“By your endurance you will win your lives.

³seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,

¹Therefore 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,

²⁵Every 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.

²that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,

^23[+] gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

⁴but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

¹²Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”
