1Jn 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

 

 

Faith

 

Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 

Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

 

Mat 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

 

Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

 

Mar 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

 

1Jn 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

1Jn 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

 

Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

 

Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

 

Rom 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

 

Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

 

1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

 

Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

 

Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

 

1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

 

Patience

 

Psa 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Psa 37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Psa 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

 

Ecc 7:8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

 

Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

 

Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

 

Jas 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

Jas 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

 

Heb 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

 

Rom 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

 

Heb 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

Heb 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

 

Psa 40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

 

Peace

 

Num 6:26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

 

Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

 

Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

 

1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

 

Php 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 

Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

 

Rom 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Rom 14:18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

Rom 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

 

Isa 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

 

Psa 119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

 

Pro 16:7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

 

Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

 

1Pe 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

1Pe 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

 

Psa 85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

 

Wisdom

 

Pro 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

 

Pro 8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

 

 

Col 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

Col 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

 

Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

 

Jas 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

 

Pro 16:16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

 

Pro 24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

Pro 24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

Pro 24:5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

Pro 24:6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Pro 24:7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

 

Pro 24:14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

 

Job 28:12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

Job 28:23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

Job 28:27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

 

Psa 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

 

Ecc 7:19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
