for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable, but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.

But the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word which was preached to you.

For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person endures grief when suffering unjustly.

For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.
