³ Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience.

³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;

⁴ and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:

³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

⁷ that the proof of your faith, `being' more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

⁶ and in `your' knowledge self-control; and in `your' self-control patience; and in `your' patience godliness;

²⁸ And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, `even' to them that are called according to `his' purpose.

¹¹ strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;

⁵ And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

⁷ to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:

⁴ For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.

¹ Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

⁴ so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which ye endure;
