Bible Verses About Perseverance

Verses about enduring hardship, finishing the race of faith, and holding on when life is hard.

Perseverance is what separates those who start from those who finish. The writer of Hebrews urges us to run with endurance the race set before us, looking to Jesus. Paul fought the good fight. The churches of Revelation are called to be faithful unto death. These Bible verses on perseverance are for those in the middle of a hard season who cannot see the end — the parent who is exhausted, the believer who is doubting, the worker who feels invisible. Hold on. Your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
