Bible verses about "steadfast" | YLT

¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory about to be revealed in us; ¹⁹ for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God; ²⁰ for to vanity was the creation made subject—not of its will, but because of Him who did subject it —in hope, ²¹ that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God; ²² for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now. ²³ And not only so, but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting—the redemption of our body; ²⁴ for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for it ? ²⁵ and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect it .

² for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

¹⁸ that through two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,

³¹ But those expecting Jehovah pass to power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!

⁶ who also made us sufficient to be ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.

³ We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you, ⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that is to all the saints, ⁵ because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news, ⁶ which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth; ⁷ as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ, ⁸ who also did declare to us your love in the Spirit.

¹² Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light, ¹³ who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate us into the reign of the Son of His love, ¹⁴ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins, ¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation, ¹⁶ because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created, ¹⁷ and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted. ¹⁸ And himself is the head of the body—the assembly—who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things —himself—first, ¹⁹ because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle, ²⁰ and through him to reconcile the all things to himself—having made peace through the blood of his cross—through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens. ²¹ And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile, ²² in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself, ²³ if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became—I Paul—a ministrant. ²⁴ I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly, ²⁵ of which I—I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God, ²⁶ the secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations—which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory, ²⁸ whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus, ²⁹ for which also I labour, striving according to his working that is working in me in power.

² aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance;

⁷ Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

² All joy count it, my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold; ³ knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance, ⁴ and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire—in nothing lacking;

¹² Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

⁵⁸ so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.
