Revelation 2:3

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

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

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

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

But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

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

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

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

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

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

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
