Revelation 2:3

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

⁹Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.

⁷Be 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. ⁸You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

⁹Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door. ¹⁰Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. ¹¹Behold, 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.

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,

³knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. ⁴Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

¹¹strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

¹⁵Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

¹²that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

²¹But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.

⁷Rest in the LORD, 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.
