Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

The Lord is slow to anger but great in power; the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet.

Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
