“who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In the ark a few people, only eight souls, were saved through water.”

“You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,”

“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”

“with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,”

“What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?”

“in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;”

“being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully”

“But for this very reason I was shown mercy, so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His perfect patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life.”

“Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.”
