HE fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience. Gal. v. 22.)

For this is thankworthy, if for conscience toward God, man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before God. For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow His steps. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth. Who, when He was reviled, did not revile: when He suffered, He threatened not: but delivered Himself to him that judged Him unjustly. Who His own self bore our sins in His body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should give to justice: by whose stripes you were healed. (1 Peter i. 19-24.)

In doing good Jet us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing. (Gal. vi. 9, 10.) Be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life. (Apoc. i. 10.)

He that shall overcome, shall thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels. (Apoc. iii. 5.)
