In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

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

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.

Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

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

Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

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

The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.

But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

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.

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

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.

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

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 compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

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

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.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

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.

But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

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