⁸ Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

²⁹ He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

¹³ Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

⁵ They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

⁶ He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

¹¹ Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

¹⁹ In your patience possess ye your souls.

⁸ Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

³² He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
