Anyone who is patient has great understanding. But anyone who gets angry quickly shows how foolish they are.

You need to be faithful. Then you will do what God wants. You will receive what he has promised.

Those who cry as they plant their crops will sing with joy when they gather them in.Those who go out weeping as they carry seeds to plant will come back singing with joy. They will bring the new crop back with them.

You too must be patient. You must remain strong. The Lord will soon come back.

But the fruit the Holy Spirit produces is love, joy and peace. It is being patient, kind and good. It is being faithful

People who always want more stir up conflict. But those who trust in the Lord will succeed.

As you know, we think that people who don’t give up are blessed. You have heard that Job was patient. And you have seen what the Lord finally did for him. The Lord is full of tender mercy and loving concern.

Remain strong in the faith, and you will receive eternal life.

So be watchful, and control yourselves completely. In this way, put your hope in the grace that lies ahead. This grace will be brought to you when Jesus Christ returns.

It is better to be patient than to fight. It is better to control your temper than to take a city.

God will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good. They want glory, honor, and life that never ends.But there are others who only look out for themselves. They don’t accept the truth. They go astray. God will pour out his great anger on them.

Don’t be proud at all. Be completely gentle. Be patient. Put up with one another in love.

Where there is arguing, there is pride. But those who take advice are wise.

“ But Abraham replied,‘ Son, remember what happened in your lifetime. You received your good things. Lazarus received bad things. Now he is comforted here, and you are in terrible pain.

In the same way, I’m speaking to you who are younger. Follow the lead of those who are older. All of you, put on a spirit free of pride toward one another. Put it on as if it were your clothes. Do this because Scripture says,“ God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are humble.”( Proverbs 3:34)So make yourselves humble. Put yourselves under God’s mighty hand. Then he will honor you at the right time.

A person with a bad temper stirs up conflict. But a person who is patient calms things down.

The Lord rules over all. The Lord says,“ My people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian army. They beat you with rods. They lift up war clubs against you, just as the Egyptians did.Very soon I will not be angry with you anymore. I will turn my anger against the Assyrians. I will destroy them.”

But suppose you receive a beating for doing wrong, and you put up with it. Will anyone honor you for this? Of course not. But suppose you suffer for doing good, and you put up with it. God will praise you for this.You were chosen to do good even if you suffer. That’s because Christ suffered for you. He left you an example that he expects you to follow.

The Assyrian army has entered the town of Aiath. They have passed through Migron. They have stored up supplies at Mikmash.They have marched through the pass there. They said,“ Let’s camp for the night at Geba.” The people of Ramah tremble with fear. Those who live in Gibeah of Saul run away.Town of Gallim, cry out! Laishah, listen! Poor Anathoth!The people of Madmenah are running away. Those who live in Gebim are hiding.Today the Assyrians have stopped at Nob. They are shaking their fists at Mount Zion in the city of Jerusalem.The Assyrian soldiers are like trees in a forest. The Lord who rules over all will chop them down. The Lord will cut off their branches with his great power. He will chop the tall trees down. He will cut down even the highest ones.The Mighty One will chop down the forest with his ax. He will cut down the cedar trees in Lebanon.
