Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
And rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster.
Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
