What the Bible says about: Patience
| Ecclesiastes 7:8 | Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. |
| Luke 8:11-15 | Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. |
| Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. | |
| They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. | |
| And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. | |
| But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. | |
| Romans 5:3-5 | And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; |
| And patience, experience; and experience, hope: | |
| And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. | |
| 1 Timothy 6:11-14 | But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. |
| Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. | |
| I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; | |
| That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: | |
| Hebrews 6:10-15 | 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 we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: | |
| That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. | |
| For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, | |
| Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. | |
| And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. | |
| Hebrews 10:36 | For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. |
