9 Bible Verses about Patience As A Fruit Of The Spirit

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

What if God, desiring to let his wrath and his power be seen, for a long time put up with the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction:

Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,

With all gentle and quiet behaviour, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;

Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;

As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

And our desire is that you will keep control over those whose lives are not well ordered, giving comfort to the feeble-hearted, supporting those with little strength, and putting up with much from all.

But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his word, as he seems to some, but he is waiting in mercy for you, not desiring the destruction of any, but that all may be turned from their evil ways.
