| Mark 13:13 | "And you will be hated by all men for My name's sake. But he who *endures (bears patiently) to the end shall be saved." |
| Rom. 8:22-25 | "For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. And not only they, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, then we eagerly wait for it with perseverance." |
| 1 Cor. 15:58 | "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." |
| Heb. 10:36-39 | "For you have need of endurance, so that after you
have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 'For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not *tarry (delay). Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.' (Hab. 2:3-4) But we are not of those who draw back to *perdition (destruction), but of those who believe to the saving of the soul." |
| Heb. 12:1-4 | "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. |
| Jas. 1:12 | "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been proved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him." |
