Patience » Being patient
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are idle, encourage the faint-hearted, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
Therefore seeing we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily ensnare us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such hostility of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain. Be also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws near.
Be tender loving one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; constant in prayer;
For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you 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 him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you 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 draw 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 says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
Be also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws near.
