and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness;

And for this very reason, indeed, giving all diligence, add to your faith, courage; and to courage, knowledge;

and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love:

Here is the patience of the saints: here are those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

I, John, who am also your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

I know your works, and love, and service, and faith, and your patience, and that your last works are more than the first.

Because you have kept the word of my patience, I will also keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try the inhabitants of the earth.

If any one lead them into captivity, he shall be led into captivity: if any one slay with the sword, he shall himself be slain with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
