However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

In your patience possess ye your souls.

Be patient, therefore, brethren, to the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth the early and the latter rain.

Be ye also patient; establish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing earnest in prayer;

But if we hope for what we see not, then with patience we wait for it.

Better is the end of a thing than its beginning: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first:

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love;

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness;

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.

Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak; for your work shall be rewarded.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he will strengthen thy heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is my end, that I should prolong my life?

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.

When Jesus heard it, he saith to them, They that are in health, have no need of a physician, but they that are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.

And the servant of the Lord must not contend; but be gentle to all men, apt to teach, patient,

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

When I looked for good, then evil came: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

For what glory is it, if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

To them who by patient continuance in well-doing, seek for glory, and honor, and immortality; eternal life:

He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity: just and right is he.

Be of the same mind one towards another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

I earnestly wish ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

The LORD will increase you more and more, you and your children.
