![]() Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"įor whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. My soul has no pleasure in him." But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.Īnd not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance and perseverance, character and character, hope.Īnd we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:Īnd He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
