難道你輕視神豐富的仁慈、寬容、耐心，不明白他的仁慈是引領你來悔改的嗎？

雖然如此，耶和華卻等候著要恩待你們；因此，他會起來憐憫你們，因為耶和華是公正的神；所有等候他的，都是蒙福的！

但主啊，你是有憐憫、有恩惠的神！你不輕易發怒，並有豐盛的慈愛和信實。

難道神絕不會給那些他所揀選、日夜向他呼求的人主持公道嗎？難道神會耽誤幫助他們嗎？我告訴你們：他會很快地給他們主持公道。不過人子回來的時候，難道在地上能找到這樣的信仰嗎？」

我曾給她時間，好讓她悔改，她卻不肯悔改離開自己的淫亂。

但我之所以蒙了憐憫，是因為基督耶穌要在我這首惡身上顯出他一切的耐心，為那些將要信靠他而進入永恆生命的人做榜樣。

並且你們要把我們主的耐心看做救恩，就像我們親愛的弟兄保羅，照著所賜他的智慧寫給你們的那樣。

要知道，還有一點點時候，「要來的那一位就要來臨，他不會遲延。

就是從前在挪亞建造方舟的那些日子裡，在神耐心等待的時候那些不肯信從的靈魂。當時進入方舟，藉著水獲救的人很少，只有八個人。

但如果神想要顯出他的震怒，顯明他的能力，就以極大的耐心容忍那些承受震怒的器皿，就是他早已預備要歸於滅亡的器皿，那又怎麼樣呢？

我使我的公義臨近，它已經不遠了；我的救恩必不遲延。我要把救恩賜給錫安，把我的榮耀賜給以色列。」
