patience have her perfect work, that ye may be
perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 57
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming
of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for
the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long
patience for it, until he receive the early and
latter rain.

finisher of our faith who for the joy that was
set before him endured the cross, despising the
shame, and is set down at the right hand of the
throne of God.

• For consider him that endured such contradiction
  of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied
  and faint in your minds.

1Pet 221 For even hereunto were ye called
because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us
an example, that ye should follow his
steps 1Pet 222 Who did no sin, neither was
guile found in his mouth 1Pet 223 Who, when
he was reviled, reviled not again when he
suffered, he threatened not but committed
himself to him that judgeth righteously

• For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for
  your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if,
  when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it
  patiently, this is acceptable with God.
