Patience » Being patient
We also exhort you, brethren, that you warn those that are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient with everyone.
Therefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, leaving behind all the weight of the sin which surrounds us, let us run with patience the race that is set before us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who having been offered joy, endured the cross , despising the shame and was seated at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself lest ye be wearied in your souls and faint.
Be patient, therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently until it receives the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient and confirm your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draws near.
loving one another with brotherly love, with honour preferring one another; not slothful in earnest care, but fervent in the Spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, constant in prayer,
for patience is necessary, so that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come and will not tarry.
Pleasure » Who cannot please God
But without faith it is impossible to please God; for he that comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him.
So then, those that are carnal cannot please God.
for patience is necessary, so that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith, but if any man draws back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
the future » The second coming of Christ » Spoken of as near at hand
He who testifies these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Behold, I come quickly; blessed is he that keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.
Behold, I come quickly; hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is near.
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come and will not tarry.
Be ye also patient and confirm your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draws near.
