Wherefore, since we are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every incumbrance, and the sin which does so easily embarrass us, and let us pursue with constancy the course that is proposed to us: having Jesus in our view, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down on the right hand of the throne of God. for you should consider how he endured such opposition from sinners against himself, lest ye be tired out, and quite despond.

As for you, my brethren, bear your sufferings with constancy, till the advent of the Lord. the farmer, from the prospect of a golden crop, patiently expects the showers of the spring and the autumn. be you equally patient, and exercise your fortitude, for the advent of the Lord is nigh.

in brotherly kindness be passionately affected to one another; in honour prefer one another: in business be not slothful, but of an active mind, making the best use of every incident. be joyful in hope; be patient under affliction; persevere in prayer;

for it is necessary you should persevere, that after having perform'd what God has commanded, you may receive what he has promised. only wait but a little while, and he that is to come, will come without delay.
