Be Steadfast

[14] Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. [15] And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; [16] As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. [17] Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. [18] But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

• Salvation
• Thankfulness
• War

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

• Assurance

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
