150 Bible Verses about Patience in Adversity

Not only so, but we also glory in tzoros (troubles, afflictions), knowing that tzarah (trouble) produces savlanut (patience),Savlanut produces tested character and midos, and tested character and midos produce tikvah.

If anyone considers himself to be one of the Charedim [Orthodox, G-d-fearing Jewish religious ones], yet has lashon hora and does not bridle his tongue but instead causes his lev to fall under remiyah (deceit), this oneʼs chasidus (piety) is worthless.Avodas Kodesh that is tehorah (pure) and tamimah (unblemished) before Elohim HaAv is this: to visit yetomim (orphans) and almanot (widows) in their tzoros and to be shomer against the defilement of the Olam Hazeh.Because you have da'as that the emunah you have, when it is tested, produces savlanut (patient endurance).And let savlanut be shleimah in its po'al (work) in order that you may be mevugarim (mature, grown up) and complete, lacking in nothing.

Therefore, having been acquitted and declared not guilty, declared to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM on the yesod (basis) of our emunah (faith), we have shalom (peace) in relation to Hashem through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu,For if when we were [G-dʼs] oyevim (enemies), we were reconciled to Hashem through the histalkus (passing), the mavet (death) of the Zun fun der Oybershter, how much more, having been reconciled and no longer oyevim, shall we be delivered by his Chayyim!Not only so, but we also glory in Hashem though Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu, through whom we have now received the ritztzuy (reconciliation, cessation of enmity, hostility between a wrathful holy G-d and sinful men).Therefore, just as through one Adam (one man, humanity, Adam), Chet (Sin) entered into the Olam Hazeh and, through Chet (Sin), entered Mavet (Death), and so Mavet passed through to kol Bnei Adam (all Mankind, all the sons of Adam), because all sinned.For before [the epoch of] the Torah (Law), Chet (Sin, Chet Kadmon, original sin) was in HaOlam (HaZeh, the world). But Chet (Sin) is not accounted, recorded in the absence of Gezetz.Nevertheless, Mavet (Death) reigned supreme from (the epoch of) Adam until (the epoch of) Moshe Rabbeinu, even over those who did not sin in the very same manner of Adamʼs averah (transgression, disobedience, commandment rebelled against and recorded for death penalty) — that is, Adam who is a tipus (pattern, prophetic type), a demut he'atid (a future figure) of Hu HaBah (“He who comes,” Moshiach the Coming One, the Coming Go'el Redeemer). But the averah (transgression) was not like the effect of unmerited chesed (grace). For if by the averah of the one, the rabbim (many) died, how much more the unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem (grace of G-d) and the matnat hachesed (free gift of grace) of the Adam HaEchad (one Man) Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua have overflowed LARABBIM (to the many).And the mattanah (free gift) is not like the effect of that one Adamʼs averah. For the mishpat (judgment) is from one averah (transgression) to the gezar din (verdict) of ashem (guilty), to harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty); but the effect of the unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem is from averot rabbot (many transgressions) to zikkuy (acquittal), to that of being YITZDAK IM HASHEM (“justified with G-d,” i.e., acquittal, justification with Hashem of the Many).For if by the averah (transgression) of the one, Mavet (Death) reigned supreme through the one Adam, how much more those, who receive the abundance of unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem (grace) and of the Matnat HaTzedakah (the gift of righteousness), shall reign in life through the one Adam, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.So, then, as through one Averah (transgression) [of Adam] to kol Bnei Adam to harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty), so also through one Mitzvah (righteous or worthy deed) [of Moshiach] to kol Bnei Adam to justification unto Chayei [Olam].For as through the disobedience of the one Adam, the many were made chote'im (sinners), so also through the mishma'at (obedience) of the one Adam, the many will be made tzaddikim (righteous ones).Through whom also we have HaSha'ar laHashem (gate to appoach G-dʼs presence, access of the Tzaddikim) by emunah into this unmerited Chen v'Chesed in which we stand and glory in tikvah of the kavod Eloheinu.

In our tefillos recalling before our G-d and Avinu your work of emunah, your labor of ahavah (agape), and your perseverance of tikvah in Moshiach Adoneinu Yeshoshua,

But if being osei tzedek (doers of what is right) and suffering, then you endure, this is worthy of shevach before Hashem.

For the harim (mountains) shall depart, and the geva'ot (hills) be removed; but My chesed shall not depart from thee, neither shall the Brit of My Shalom be removed, saith Merachamech Hashem (Hashemthe One having rachamim on thee).

We, the strong, ought to support the weaknesses of those without chizzuk, and not to please ourselves.Furthermore it says, HARNINU GOYIM AMMO (Rejoice, Goyim with His people).And again, HALELU ES ADONOI KOL GOYIM SHABBECHUHU KOL HAUMMIM (Baruch Hashem, Praise the L-rd, all you Goyim, and let all the peoples praise Him).And again Yeshayah says, The SHORESH OF YISHAI (the Root of Jesse), shall come forth, even the one who arises to rule the GOYIM; in him (the Gentiles, the nations) shall put their TIKVAH (hope).May the Elohei HaTikvah (the G-d of hope) fill you with simcha and shalom in believing, that you may overflow in tikvah (hope), in the ko'ach (power) of the Ruach Hakodesh.Achim b'Moshiach of mine, I myself am convinced concerning you, that you yourselves too are full of yosher (rectitude), full of da'as, able also to admonish one another.But I wrote to you rather bluntly in this iggeret hakodesh in part as a way of reminding you, by virtue of the chesed (unmerited favor, gift of grace) given me from Hashem,To be a mesharet (minister, servant) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua to the Goyim, serving the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem, administering with a kohenʼs avodas kodesh service the minchah offering to Hashem of the Goyim, that this offering might be acceptable, mekudash (set apart as holy) in the Ruach Hakodesh.Therefore I have this glorying in Moshiach Yehoshua in reference to what concerns G-d.For I will not presume to say anything, except of what Moshiach has accomplished through me for the mishma'at of the peoples, by word and deed,By the ko'ach of otot u'moftim (signs and wonders), by the power of the Ruach Hakodesh; so that from Yerushalayim in a sweep round to Illyricum, I have preached the Besuras HaGeulah Hashem,Let each of us please his re'a with a view to what is beneficial, for upbuilding.

Unless Thy torah had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine oni.

For Hashem is not unjust so as to forget your po'al (work) and the ahavah which you have shown toward ha-Shem of him, having rendered avodas kodesh ministry service to the Kedoshim, ken, and you are still serving them.

But even as it has been written, Things which no eye has seen and LO SHAMU (they had not heard) nor did it come up into the heart of Bnei Adam, the things G-d prepared for the ones who have ahavah for him.

Then they cried unto Hashem in their tzoros, and He brought them out of their distresses.He made the sa'arah (storm) a calm, so that the galim (waves) thereof were still. And gathered them out of the lands, from the mizrach (east), and from the ma'arav (west), from the tzafon (north), and from the yam (sea).Then were they glad because they were quiet; so He brought them unto their makhoz chefetz (desired haven, city, district, boundary).

Baruch Hashem, HaElohim Avi of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua! By his great rachamim (mercy) we have been born anew to a tikvah chayyah (living hope) through the Techiyas Yehoshua from HaMesim (the dead ones).We have also been born anew to a nachalah (inheritance) that is without shachat (corruption, decay), undefiled and unfading, having been preserved in Shomayim for you,

The same G-d out of so great a Mavet delivered us and will continue to deliver us. We have set tikvateinu (our hope) that he will yet deliver us,

If possible, so far as it depends on you, live in shalom with everyone.

He that dwelleth in the seter Elyon (covering, hiding place of the Most High) shall abide under the tzel Shaddai (shadow of the Almighty).There shall no ra'ah (evil, disaster) befall thee, neither shall any nega come near thy ohel.For He shall give charge to His malachim (angels) concerning thee, to be shomer over thee in kol drakhim of thee.They shall bear thee up on their palms, lest thou dash thy regel against an even (stone).Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the tannin (serpent) shalt thou trample under foot.Because he hath set his longing upon Me, therefore will I rescue him; I will set him on high, because he hath da'as of Shmi (My Name).He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in tzoros; I will deliver him, and honor him.With orech yamim (length of days, long life) will I satisfy him, and show him My Yeshu'ah (salvation).I will say of Hashem, He is my refuge and my fortress; Elohai (my G-d); in Him will I trust.

Say not thou, I will pay back rah; but wait on Hashem, and He shall save thee.

And having looked upon them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, With Bnei Adam it is impossible; but with Hashem all things are possible.

He is the Rofeh (healer) of the Shevurei-lev (broken in heart), binds up their wounds.

Daven in the Ruach Hakodesh always with all tefillos and techinnah (supplication). To that end keep shomer and always persevere in techinnah (supplication) for the Kedoshim;

(Mizmor Dovid. When he was in the midbar Yehudah)

Ani Hu (I am) HaGefen; you are the sarigim (branches). The one remaining in me and I in him, this one bears much p'ri, because apart from me you are not able to do anything.

Commit thy ma'asim (works) unto Hashem, and thy plans shall be established.

It is better to trust in Hashem than to put confidence in adam.

This is so because as the Chevlei Moshiach (birth pangs of Moshiach) abound to us, so through Moshiach abounds also our nechamah.Now if we are experiencing tzoros, it is for your chizzuk (strengthening) and Yeshu'at Eloheinu; or if we are being given nechamah (comfort), it is for your nechamah that is producing in you the chozek (strength) of savlanut (patience) for the endurance of the tzoros which we also suffer.

And that which you learned and you received and you heard and you saw in me, practice these and Elohei HaShalom will be with you.

Unless Hashem had been my help, my nefesh had almost dwelt in dumah (silence).When I said, My regel (foot) slippeth, Thy chesed, Hashem, held me up.

Then shalt thou call, and Hashem shall answer; thou shalt cry for help, and He shall say: Hineni! If thou remove from the midst of thee the motah (yoke), the pointing of the etzba (finger [of contempt]) and speaking aven (evil, lashon hora);

The Ruach Hakodesh himself bears eidus (witness) with our ruach that we are bnei HaElohim.And if bnei HaElohim, then also yoreshim (heirs) of G-d and co-heirs together with Moshiach, provided that we suffer with him in order that we might also be set in kavod (glory, eschatological glorification) with him.

Let not your levavot be troubled. You have emunah (faith) in Hashem. Also in me have emunah (faith).
