- Psalms 57:7
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
Commentary on Psalms 57:71 voice
My heart is fixed, O God,.... Firm and sure, trusting in the Lord, believing that he should be saved by him out of his troubles; see Psa 101:1. So, in a spiritual sense, a heart fixed and established, or that is firm and sure, is one that is assured of its salvation by Christ, rooted and grounded in the love of God, firmly built on the foundation, Christ, and has its affections set on him; and is unmoved, from the hope of the Gospel, and the doctrines of it, by whatsoever it meets with in the world.

- Psalms 108:1
My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.
Commentary on Psalms 108:12 voices
And these things indeed we say according to the Jews. But according to the higher sense, it is the Lord who sings these things. "My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready." I am ready here, I am ready in the future: I save both on earth and I save in heaven; that is, I save both the angels and men.
Jerome· Homily 34, on Psalm 107Patristic
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise,.... From hence to Psa 108:6 the words are taken out of Psa 57:7, which see. Even with my glory; my tongue; in Psa 57:8, it is read, "awake up my glory". See Gill on Psa 57:7,
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Psalms 112:7
He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
- Matthew 10:22
You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
Commentary on Matthew 10:221 voice
(Verse 22.) But whoever perseveres until the end, he will be saved. For it is not to begin, but to complete virtue.
Jerome· Commentary on MatthewPatristic
- Matthew 24:13
But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
Commentary on Matthew 24:132 voices
(Verse 12, 13.) And since iniquity will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who perseveres to the end, he will be saved. He did not deny the faith of all, but of many. For many are called, but few are chosen. For in the apostles and those like them, charity will remain, of which it is written: 'Many waters cannot quench love' (Song of Solomon 8:7). And even Paul himself said: 'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?' tribulation, or distress, or famine (Rom. VIII, 35)? and so on.
Jerome· Commentary on MatthewPatristic
But "by patience," says He, "ye shall yourselves be saved." Of this very patience the Psalm says, "The patient endurance of the just shall not perish for ever; " because it is said in another Psalm, "Precious (in the sight of the Lord) is the death of the just"-arising, no doubt, out of their patient endurance, so that Zechariah declares: "A crown shall be to them that endure.
Tertullian· Against Marcion Book IVPatristic
- Mark 4:20
Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”
- 1 Corinthians 7:20
Each one should remain in the situation he was in when he was called.
- 1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
- 2 Thessalonians 2:15
Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.
Commentary on 2 Thessalonians 2:151 voice
Since therefore we have such proofs, it is not necessary to seek the truth among others which it is easy to obtain from the Church; since the apostles, like a rich man [depositing his money] in a bank, lodged in her hands most copiously all things pertaining to the truth: so that every man, whosoever will, can draw from her the water of life. For she is the entrance to life; all others are thieves and robbers.
Irenaeus· Against Heresies Book 3Patristic
- 2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
Commentary on 2 Thessalonians 3:32 voices
Above he said: God "chose you" "for salvation," meaning: chose for Himself. So then, faithful, that is, true is God, and He will undoubtedly accomplish what He began; and He will strengthen you, as we prayed, so that you will no longer be shaken, and …
Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on 2 ThessaloniansPatristic
But the Lord is faithful,.... Or "God" as the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions read, as do also the Alexandrian and Claromontane copies. This is said for the comfort of the saints, lest they should be discouraged upon hearing that all professors of faith in Christ had it not, who might be ready to take it to themselves, and fear, that either they had it not, or if they had, that they might lose it, and fall from it. Wherefore the apostle observes to them the comfortable attribute of God's faithfulness, which he will not suffer to fail.

- Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.
- Hebrews 13:9
Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace and not by foods of no value to those devoted to them.
Commentary on Hebrews 13:92 voices
That is, the doctrines of the [levitical] priests and their offerings. "It is well that the heart is strengthened by grace," that is, is made firm by the new gospel, not by the restrictions of the priests about food. Those who practiced this way of …
Ephrem the Syrian· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWSPatristic
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines - That is, they should have settled and fixed points of belief, and not yield to every new opinion which was started.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- James 1:23–25
For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
Commentary on James 1:23–251 voice
But if any man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,.... The Arabic version here again reads, "a hearer of the law", and so some copies; not hearing, but practice, is the main thing; not theory, but action: hence, says R.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Revelation 22:11
Let the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous, and the vile continue to be vile; let the righteous continue to practice righteousness, and the holy continue to be holy.”
