But the one who endures to the end will be saved… “ Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. Matthew 10:16- 22 “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Perseverance Serving and Spreading the Word For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:11-15 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.Ĭolossians 1:11-12 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.ġ Thessalonians 1:3 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.Psalms 27:14 Wait for the LORD be strong, and let your heart take courage wait for the LORD! 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.ġ2 Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”ħ It is for discipline that you have to endure. “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. 5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.ģ Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
