and endurance, character, and character, hope.

By your endurance ¹  you will gain ²  your lives. ³ 

Not ¹  only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance. ¹ 

Now may the God of endurance and comfort give you unity with one another ¹  in accordance with Christ Jesus,

Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God ¹  and the endurance of Christ. ² 

You, however, ¹  have followed my teaching, my ²  way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance,

Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, ¹  sound in faith, in love, and in endurance. ² 

For you need endurance in order to do God’s will and so receive what is promised. ¹ 

And let endurance have its perfect effect, so that you will be perfect and complete, not deficient in anything.

For everything that was written in former times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we may have hope.

But as God’s servants, ¹  we have commended ourselves in every way, ²  with great endurance, in persecutions, ³  in difficulties, in distresses,

because we recall ¹  in the presence of our God and Father ²  your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope ³  in our Lord Jesus Christ.

But you, as a person dedicated to God, ¹  keep away from all that. ²  Instead pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.

‘I know your deeds: your love, faith, ¹  service, and steadfast endurance. ²  In fact, ³  your more recent deeds are greater than your earlier ones.

This requires ¹  the steadfast endurance ²  of the saints – those who obey ³  God’s commandments and hold to ⁴  their faith in Jesus. ⁵ 

But as for the seed that landed on good soil, these are the ones who, after hearing ¹  the word, cling to it ²  with an honest and good ³  heart, and bear fruit with steadfast endurance. ⁴ 

But if we are afflicted, ¹  it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort that you experience in your patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, ¹  we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us,
