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

¹⁵ And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹⁰ but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

⁵⁴ But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁹ And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

²⁷ to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing.

¹² that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

¹⁵ And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

³⁵ Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.

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

⁷ Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain.

⁸ Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

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:

⁸ whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

¹⁰ Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

¹⁶ Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

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

¹⁸ while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

⁵⁸ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.

²³ and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,

⁹ Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.

¹⁴ Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah. Psalm 28 `A Psalm' of David.

³ Trust in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on `his' faithfulness.

³⁴ Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

²⁵ Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

²⁶ It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.

¹² And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold.

¹³ But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

⁶⁶ Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

⁶⁷ Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

⁶⁹ And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.

¹⁰ but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.

²⁴ For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?

²⁵ But if we hope for that which we see not, `then' do we with patience wait for it.

²⁵ And this is the promise which he promised us, `even' the life eternal.

¹³ but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.

¹⁴ If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed `are ye'; because the `Spirit' of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.

⁴⁴ How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that `cometh' from the only God ye seek not?
