Patience: should be Accompanied by Faith

That is why we boast among God’s churches about your perseverance and faith in the face of all the persecution and affliction you are enduring.

Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

“If anyone is destined for captivity, into captivity he will go; if anyone is to die by the sword, by the sword he must be killed.” Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.
