James 5:11 (NIV) As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Hebrews 10:36-38 (NIV) 36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37 For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay. 38 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."
Psalm 102:26 (NIV) They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded.
