So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure:
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Proverbs 29:15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.
With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love;
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.
But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
