క్రైస్తవ మతము
ప్రపంచంలో మానవాళి అత్యధికంగా నమ్మె క్రైస్తవ మతం అని చెప్పడంలో సందేహం లేదు. ఏసు క్రీస్తు బోధనల ప్రకారం జీవించేవారిని క్రైస్తవులు అని అనడం కద్దు. పరిశుద్ధ గ్రంథము (హోలీ బైబిల్) క్రైస్తవుల పవిత్ర గ్రంథము.

In the Christian Bible, patience is referred to in several sections. The Book of Proverbs note that "through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone" (Proverbs 25:14-16, NIV); Ecclesiastes points out that the "end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride" (Ecclesiastes 7:7-9, NIV); and Thessalonians states that we should "be patient with all. See that no one returns evil for evil; rather, always seek what is good for each other and for all" (1 Thessalonians 5:14-15, NAB). In the Epistle of James, the Bible urges Christians to be patient, and " see how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth...until it receives the early and the late rains." (James 5:7-11, NAB). In Galatians, patience is listed as one of the "fruit of the Spirit": "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law". (Galatians 5:21-23, NIV). In Timothy, the Bible states that "Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life".(1 Timothy 1:15-17, NIV).
