Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

But according to your hardness and impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

What if God, determining to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath rendered fit unto destruction,

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

Jehovah is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but not acquitting to leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation.

And Jehovah said: I have pardoned, according to your word;

because all these men seeing My glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the wilderness, and tested Me now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice,

See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; nor is there any who can deliver out of My hand.

if I whet My glittering sword, and My hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to My enemies, and repay those who hate Me.

Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people.

Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you which Jehovah your God has spoken to you, so Jehovah will bring upon you every evil thing, to destroy you from this good land which Jehovah your God has given to you.

When you have transgressed the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He has commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed down to them, then the anger of Jehovah will burn against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which He has given to you.

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

And man shall say, Truly, there is a reward for the righteous; truly, there is a God who judges in the earth.

He cast upon them His burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, by sending evil angels.

and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the first of their strength in the tents of Ham.

but overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, for His mercy is eternal.

to Him who struck down great kings, for His mercy is eternal;

Sihon king of the Amorites, for His mercy is eternal;

and gave their land as a heritage, for His mercy is eternal;

And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass. And the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward His servants, and His indignation toward His enemies.

eternal life to those who steadfastly doing good, seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility;

But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the Word with an honest and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with steadfastness.

Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you continue to abide in My Word, you are truly My disciples.

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is dried up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; thus you will be My disciples.

If you keep My commandments, you will continue in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and continue in His love.

When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must enter the kingdom of God through many afflictions.

by which also you are being kept safe, if you hold fast that Word which I preached to you; unless you believe in vain.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not faint.

For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest somehow the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain.

For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold fast to the origin of our Foundation steadfast to the end,

Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not linger.

But we are not of those who draw back to destruction, but of those who believe to the preserving of the soul.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that not all of them are of us.

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the treachery of his unfaithfulness, and the sin which he has sinned, in them he shall die.

Yet the children of your people say, The way of Jehovah is not fair. But as for them, it is their way which is not fair!

But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does justice and righteousness, he shall live because of it.

and do not think to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father. For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

And now already the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore any tree which does not bear good fruit is cut off and thrown into the fire.

Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works; and if not, I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place; unless you repent.
