³ Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

³ And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

⁴ And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

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

⁷ That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

⁶ And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

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

¹¹ Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

⁵ And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

⁷ To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

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

¹ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us 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 tribulations that ye endure:
