For we were saved by hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

Yet the righteous will take hold on his way, and he who has clean hands shall increase strength.

Wait upon Jehovah; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, upon Jehovah!

Trust in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness.

Wait upon Jehovah and keep His way, and He will lift you up to inherit the earth; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

Jehovah is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

It is good that one should hope for the salvation of Jehovah, even in silence.

And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

But he who endures to the end shall be kept safe.

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.

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the Words of eternal life.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

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

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

Hereafter, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all the ones loving His appearing.

that you do not become slothful, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

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

For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.

You also be patient. Make your hearts firm, for the coming of the Lord draws near.

Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall by no means be hurt by the second death.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed unto us.

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

How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from God only?

Therefore we do not faint. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

while we do not contemplate the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

that the testing of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found unto praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him yet, believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

but rejoice in so far as you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also rejoice with exceeding joy.

If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. According to them He is blasphemed, but according to you He is glorified.

For this corruptible needs to put on incorruption, and this mortal needs to put on immortality.

So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has deprived death of its power and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel,

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And this is the promise that He has promised us: Eternal Life.
