Patience: Commended

The end of a matter is better than the beginning, and a patient spirit is better than a proud one.

I know your deeds, your labor, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.

Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.
