³ and thou didst bear, and hast endurance, and because of my name hast toiled, and hast not been weary.

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

⁹ Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to him,

¹⁶ wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

¹ Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

⁴ for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

⁵ And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus;

¹² in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

²⁵ and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect `it'.

³ And not only `so', but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;

⁴ and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;

⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;

²¹ but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

⁹ and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;

¹¹ in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.

³ unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,

¹⁰ `Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.

⁹ I, John, who also `am' your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ;

⁶ and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety,

⁷ Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain -- early and latter;

⁸ be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh;

⁹ murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood.

¹⁰ An example take ye of the suffering of evil, my brethren, and of the patience, the prophets who did speak in the name of the Lord;

¹¹ lo, we call happy those who are enduring; the endurance of Job ye heard of, and the end of the Lord ye have seen, that very compassionate is the Lord, and pitying.

³ knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,

⁴ and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking;

¹⁵ and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the promise;

¹² that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.

¹⁰ for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men -- especially of those believing.

¹³ and ye, brethren, may ye not be weary doing well,

¹⁹ in your patience possess ye your souls.

¹ And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth `us' always to pray, and not to faint,

²⁷ and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.

¹⁵ `And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain `it', and bear fruit in continuance.

⁷ all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

¹ Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us,

¹⁵ not boasting of the things not measured, in other men's labours, and having hope -- your faith increasing -- in you to be enlarged, according to our line -- into abundance,

⁵ in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

¹² salute Tryphaena, and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the Lord; salute Persis, the beloved, who did labour much in the Lord.

²¹ And they impress a certain one passing by -- Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus -- that he may bear his cross,

⁹ The indignation of Jehovah I do bear, For I have sinned against Him, Till that He doth plead my cause, And hath executed my judgment, He doth bring me forth to the light, I look on His righteousness.

⁷ For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.

⁷ Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.

²³ ministrants of Christ are they? -- as beside myself I speak -- I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;

² of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

¹⁶ the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

¹³ now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his reproach bearing;

¹⁰ for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having ministered to the saints and ministering;

¹⁷ The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,

³ for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint.

⁴ Not yet unto blood did ye resist -- with the sin striving;

⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,

⁸ nor for nought did we eat bread of any one, but in labour and in travail, night and day working, not to be chargeable to any of you;

⁵ and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.

⁹ for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God;

³ and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names `are' in the book of life.

¹⁶ that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with `us' and labouring;

¹² And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,
