JOY Galatians 5:22-23 Part 5 of 10

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

forbearance 
Ephesians 4:2  Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Colossians 1:11  ... being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, ...
Hebrews 6:12  We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
James 5:7-11 j Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You, too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. Don't grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
