忍耐也当成功，使你们成全完备，毫无缺欠(雅1：4)。
如今在百般的试炼中暂时忧愁，叫你们的信心既被试验，就比那被火试验仍然能坏的金子更显宝贵，可以在耶稣基督显现的时候，得着称赞、荣耀、尊贵(彼前1：6，7)。就是在患难中也是欢欢喜喜的。因为知道患难生忍耐，忍耐生老练，老练生盼望(罗5：3，4)。 人仰望耶和华，静默等候他的救恩，这原是好的(耶哀3：26)。自己有更美、长存的家业。所以，你们不可丢弃勇敢的心，存这样的心必得大赏赐。你们必须忍耐，使你们行完了 神的旨意，就可以得着所应许的(来10：34-36)。但愿我们主耶稣基督和那爱我们、开恩将永远的安慰并美好的盼望赐给我们的父神，安慰你们的心(帖后2：16，17)。
Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. JAS. 1:4.
Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. — We glory in tribulations: … knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. — Ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. — Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts.

神藉耶稣基督审判人隐秘事(罗2：16)。
所以，时候未到，什么都不要论断，只等主来，他要照出暗中的隐情，显明人心的意念。那时，各人要从 神那里得着称赞(林前4：5)。 父不审判什么人，乃将审判的事全交与子，因为他是人子(约5：22，27)。 那眼目如火焰的 神之子(启2：18)。
他们说： 神怎能晓得?至高者岂有知识呢(诗73：11)? 你行了这些事，我还闭口不言，你想我恰和你一样；其实我要责备你，将这些事摆在你眼前(诗50：21)。 掩盖的事，没有不露出来的；隐藏的事，没有不被人知道的(路12：2)。主啊，我的心愿都在你面前，我的叹息不向你隐瞒(诗38：9)。耶和华啊，求你察看我，试验我，熬炼我的肺腑心肠(诗26：2)。
God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ. ROM. 2:16.
Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. — The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: because he is the Son of man. — The Son of God … hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire.
They say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? — These things thou hast done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. — There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. — Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
