12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
7 But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."
11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15 And if we know that he hears us —whatever we ask —we know that we have what we asked of him.
37 For no word from God will ever fail."
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: "The old has gone, the new is here!
1 Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth," "for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
4 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' "or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
22 Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17 so that the servant of God "may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

14 Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you —guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
19 People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you.
35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,
17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.

6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,
25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another —and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
5 Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.
6 Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.
24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.
12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who "have been called according to his purpose.
1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
67 "You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God."
7 The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,
18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," "says the Lord.
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
1 But now, this is what the LORD says — he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush "and Seba in your stead.
28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
