^kfret not yourself over the one who ^lprospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!

Patience in Suffering

7 Be patient, therefore, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters; also verses 9, 10, 12, 19} until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives ^vthe early and the late rains. 8 You also, be patient. ^wEstablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord ^xis at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, ^yso that you may not be judged; behold, ^zthe Judge is standing ^aaat the door. 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take ^abthe prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of ^acthe steadfastness of Job, and you have seen ^adthe purpose of the Lord, how ^aethe Lord is compassionate and merciful.

1 John 2:19

19 ^afThey went out from us, but they were not of us; for ^agif they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, ^ahthat it might become plain that they all are not of us.
