²⁵ But ^(A)if we hope for what we do not see, through perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

⁵ May the Lord ^(A)direct your hearts to the love of God and to the perseverance of Christ.

²⁸ so Christ also, having been ^(A)offered once to ^(B)bear the sins of many, will appear ^(C)a second time for ^(D)salvation ^(E)without reference to sin, to those who ^(F)eagerly await Him.

⁵ For we, ^[a]through the Spirit, ^[b]by faith, are ^(A)waiting for the hope of righteousness.

Exhortation

⁷ Therefore be patient, ^(A)brothers and sisters, ^(B)until the coming of the Lord. ^(C)The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until ^[a]it gets ^(D)the early and late rains.

God Sustains His Servant.
