1^st Thessalonians 3: So no longer able to endure, I agreed to be left alone in Athens, Achaia. I sent our brother and diakonos [waiter, attendant, servant, deacon] of Theos and my fellow worker in the euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] of the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah, Mashiyach, Christ], Timothy, sterixai and parakalesai [to call near, to invite, to urge, to exhort, to encourage] you concerning your pistis. Not even one of you is to vacillate in [because of] my stress, for you (yourselves) know that I was destined for this. 

2^nd Thessalonians 2.16: May our Kurios Jesus, the Christos (Himself) and our Theos and Father (the One agapesas [unconditionally loving] us and giving perpetual paraklesin [imploration, urging, exhortation, encouragement, solace] and a good elpis [expectation, hope] in charis [graciousness]) encourage your hearts and sterizo yourselves in every logos and good work. For the rest, brothers, proseuchomai [humbly beg God, pray] concerning me that the logos of the Kurios will briskly move and be rendered glorious as indeed it is with you and in order that I may be rescued from perverse and poneron [hurtful] men for the pistis isn’t in the whole of humanity. But the Kurios is worthy of pistis, Who sterizo you and isolates [guards] you from the ponerou [hurtful] one. I am convinced (in the Kurios) as to you that whatever I command you, you both do and will do. May the Kurios guide your hearts into the agape of Theos and into the cheerful constancy of the Christos. 

Romans 16.25: Now, to the One capable of sterichan [securely setting, making one steadfast], down to my euaggelion and the kerugma [proclamation] of Jesus, the Christou, down to the revelation of the musteriou [secrets, mysteries], having been kept secret for eternal past ages but now revealed via prophetikon [prophetic] writings, made known down to the command of the eternal Theos, to obedience of pisteos to all the ethne [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles], the sole wise Theos; to Whom (via Jesus, the Christou) be glory to the ages. Amen!

 

Luke 22.31: “Simon! Simon! Lo! Satanas has demanded you (to sift you as grain) but I edeethen [begged, petitioned, beseeched, prayed] concerning you in order that your pistis might not vanish and you (at some time) having reverted, sterizon your brothers.” 

James 5.7: Then be makrothumeo [forbearing, patiently restraining], brothers, until the return of the Kuriou. Lo! the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, being makrothumon over it until it might receive the early and the later ueton [rain]. You also be makrothumesate! Sterizate your hearts because the return of the Kuriou has drawn near. Not bring pressure [stress] down against one another, brothers, in order that you not katakrithete [are distinguished, are judged, are put on trial]. Lo! the krites [judge] stands in front of the door. As an example of suffering hardship and of makrothunias, my brothers, take the prophetas [before tellers, prophets] who spoke in the name [authority] of the Kuriou. Lo! we pronounce those enduring, fortunate. You heard of the hupomonen [cheerful endurance, constancy] of Job and you know the Kuriou’s telos [end] for him; that the Kurios is extremely compassionate and merciful.
