People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.

Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.

You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Greed causes fighting; trusting the Lord leads to prosperity.

We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy.

By standing firm, you will win your souls.

So prepare your minds for action and exercise self control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.

Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self control than to conquer a city.

He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers.But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness.

Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise.

“ But Abraham said to him,‘ Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish.

In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for“ God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.

A hot tempered person starts fights; a cool tempered person stops them.

So this is what the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, says:“ O my people in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they oppress you with rod and club as the Egyptians did long ago.In a little while my anger against you will end, and then my anger will rise up to destroy them.”

Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.

Look, the Assyrians are now at Aiath. They are passing through Migron and are storing their equipment at Micmash.They are crossing the pass and are camping at Geba. Fear strikes the town of Ramah. All the people of Gibeah, the hometown of Saul, are running for their lives.Scream in terror, you people of Gallim! Shout out a warning to Laishah. Oh, poor Anathoth!There go the people of Madmenah, all fleeing. The citizens of Gebim are trying to hide.The enemy stops at Nob for the rest of that day. He shakes his fist at beautiful Mount Zion, the mountain of Jerusalem.But look! The Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, will chop down the mighty tree of Assyria with great power! He will cut down the proud. That lofty tree will be brought down.He will cut down the forest trees with an ax. Lebanon will fall to the Mighty One.
