Be Patient and Persevering

⁷ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. ⁸ You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord ^[a]is at hand.

²⁷ But the ^(A)anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and ^(B)you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing ^(C)teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you ^[a]will abide in Him.

The Children of God

²⁸ And now, little children, abide in Him, that ^[b]when He appears, we may have ^(D)confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. ^29 (E)If you know that He is righteous, you know that ^(F)everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

²⁸ Assuredly, I say to you, ^(A)there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
