11 Do not be indolent when zeal is required. Be thoroughly warm-hearted, the Lord's own servants,
12 full of joyful hope, patient under persecution, earnest and persistent in prayer.
7 She knows how to be silent. She is full of trust, full of hope, full of patient endurance.
37 For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment.«
1 And I saw a new Heaven and a new earth; for the first Heaven and the first earth were gone, and the sea no longer exists.
2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God and made ready like a bride attired to meet her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice, which came from the throne, say, »God's dwelling place is among men and He will dwell among them and they shall be His peoples. Yes, God Himself will be among them.
4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor wail of woe, nor pain; for the first things have passed away.«
16 Every Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for convincing, for correction of error, and for instruction in right doing;
17 so that the man of God may himself be complete and may be perfectly equipped for every good work.
13 Provide yourself with an outline of the sound teaching which you have heard from my lips, and be true to the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
14 That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.
35 Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it will receive a vast reward.
11 I am coming quickly: cling to that which you already possess, so that your wreath of victory be not taken away from you.
12 For God's Message is full of life and power, and is keener than the sharpest two-edged sword. It pierces even to the severance of soul from spirit, and penetrates between the joints and the marrow, and it can discern the secret thoughts and purposes of the heart.
12 Blessed is he who patiently endures trials; for when he has stood the test, he will gain the victor's crown –even the crown of Life– which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
9 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
9 Let us not abate our courage in doing what is right; for in due time we shall reap a reward, if we do not faint.
6 But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him.
12 Here is an opportunity for endurance on the part of God's people, who carefully keep His commandments and the faith of Jesus!«
28 »Come to me, all you toiling and burdened ones, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For it is good to bear my yoke, and my burden is light.«
26 Jesus looked at them and said, »With men this is impossible, but with God everything is possible.«
33 »I have spoken all this to you in order that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction. But keep up your courage: I have won the victory over the world.«
17 So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old state of things has passed away; a new state of things has come into existence.
66 Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, and no longer associated with Him.
67 Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. »Will you go also?« He asked.
68 »Master,« replied Simon Peter, »to whom shall we go? Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages.
69 And we have come to believe and know that you are indeed the Holy One of God.«
14 And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us.
15 And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.
18 I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming to you.
6 For of this I am confident, that He who has begun a good work within you will go on to perfect it in preparation for the day of Jesus Christ.
7 »Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.«
8 For it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks that finds, and he who knocks that has the door opened to him.
16 And may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself –and God our Father who has loved us and has given us in His grace eternal consolation and a bright hope–
17 comfort your hearts and make you stedfast in every good work and word.
17 And this proves that faith comes from a Message heard, and that the Message comes through its having been spoken by Christ.
16 Therefore we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.
17 For this our light and transitory burden of suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating, and eternal weight of glory;
18 while we look not at things seen, but things unseen; for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal.
12 I know both how to live in humble circumstances and how to live amid abundance. I am fully initiated into all the mysteries both of fulness and of hunger, of abundance and of want.
13 I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.
23 Let us hold firmly to an unflinching avowal of our hope, for He is faithful who gave us the promises.
24 And let us bestow thought on one another with a view to arousing one another to brotherly love and right conduct;
25 not neglecting –as some habitually do– to meet together, but encouraging one another, and doing this all the more since you can see the day of Christ approaching.
28 Now we know that for those who love God all things are working together for good–for those, I mean, whom with deliberate purpose He has called.
12 full of joyful hope, patient under persecution, earnest and persistent in prayer.
19 Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger; for it is written, »Revenge belongs to Me: I will pay back,' says the Lord.«
