You therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Therefore I beseech [you] not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for His body, which is the church,

And unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake, those days will be cut short.

For false christs and false prophets will be raised up, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for [those] whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.

to the weak I became as weak, in order that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all [men], that I might by all means save some.

Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer.

For all things [are] for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for His body, which is the church,

For my outgoings are the outgoings of life, and [in them] is prepared favor from the Lord.

Father, I desire that those also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, so that they may behold My glory which You gave to Me; because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to [the] obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

I, who was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I was shown mercy because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief,

and the grace of our Lord superabounded with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

who formerly [were] not a people but now [are the] people of God, who had not received mercy, but now have received mercy.

to those who by the endurance of good works are seeking glory and honor and incorruption--eternal life.

and so that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,

For our momentary light affliction is working out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But may the God of all grace, the [One] having called you into His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little [while], may He Himself make you complete--He will establish, strengthen, [and] firmly ground [you].
