2 Timothy 3:12Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.2 Timothy 4:5But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.2 Timothy 4:16At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.2 Timothy 4:17But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.Hebrews 2:10For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.Hebrews 2:11For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,Hebrews 2:12saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”Hebrews 2:13Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”Hebrews 2:14Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,Hebrews 2:15and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.Hebrews 2:16For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.Hebrews 2:17Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.Hebrews 2:18For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.Hebrews 4:15For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.Hebrews 4:16Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.Hebrews 5:8though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.Hebrews 5:9Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,Hebrews 6:18that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.Hebrews 10:34For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.Hebrews 12:1Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,Hebrews 12:2looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:3For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.Hebrews 12:4You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin;Hebrews 12:5and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;Hebrews 12:6For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.”Hebrews 12:7It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?Hebrews 12:8But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.Hebrews 12:9Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?Hebrews 12:10For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.Hebrews 12:11All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.Hebrews 12:12Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,Hebrews 13:3Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.Hebrews 13:5Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”Hebrews 13:6So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”James 1:2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,James 1:3knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.James 1:4Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.James 1:10and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.James 1:12Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.James 1:27Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.James 4:7Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.James 5:8You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.James 5:10Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.James 5:11Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.James 5:13Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.James 5:14Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord,James 5:15and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.James 5:16Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.1 Peter 1:6Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,1 Peter 1:7that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—1 Peter 2:20For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.1 Peter 2:21For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,1 Peter 2:22who did not sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”1 Peter 2:23Who, when he was cursed, didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;1 Peter 2:24who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.1 Peter 4:12Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.1 Peter 4:13But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.1 Peter 4:14If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.1 Peter 4:19Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.1 Peter 5:6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
