Patience, Comfort, and Hope of the Scripture NKJV


Romans 15:1-14 We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and no to please ourselves.

Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.

For even Christ did not please Himself; but it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."

For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written; "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name."

And again he says; "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!"

And again; 'Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!"

And again, Isaiah says; "there shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope."

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Galatians 6:1-5 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

For each one shall bear his own load.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-22 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.

See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

Rejoice always,

pray without ceasing,

in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Do not quench the Spirit,

Do not despise prophecies,

Test all things; hold fast what is good.

Abstain from every form of evil.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;

and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law;

to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law;

to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak, I have become all things to all men, that i might by all means save some.

Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.                                                                                                                                                             2 Corinthians 13:7-10 Now I pray to god that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong, And this also we pray, that you may be made complete.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness,  according to the authority the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.

1 Corinthians 10:11-12 Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages has come.

Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

Philippians 2:1-4 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
