And Paul seems to be referring to some hardships encountered in the province of Asia. 2 Corinthians 1:8-11 "We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of...

Perhaps there are exceptions for some motives. Notwithstanding, there is the potential to be "severed from Christ", to "have fallen away from grace", and for "Christ will be of no value to you at all" under certain circumstances for believers.

Because Jesus was crucified, died, and rose again, we can have forgiveness of sins through His name when we believe in Him (Acts 10:37-43, Romans 10:9-10). Because He was dead and buried before rising again, we can bury our old life through REPTENTANCE and baptism (Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-7). We...

Agreed. I would not conform these verses to mean we do not need to persevere, especially Romans 2:7.

Thank you and love back to you.

I agree, I don't think one is doomed if they don't pray for that, necessarily. However it clearly follows that if praying for perseverance is helpful then it's better to pray for it. With that said, "perseverance in doing good" itself is clearly vital from Romans 2:6-7.

Romans 2:6-8 God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger. Romans 2:12...
