Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus.

Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus.

Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance.

He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil.
