Endure, Enduring
Endure, Enduring
“to abide,” is rendered “to endure” in the AV of Joh 6:27; 1Pe 1:25 (RV, “abideth”); Heb 10:34, AV, “enduring (substance),” RV, “abiding.” See ABIDE.
a strengthened form of No. 1, denotes “to abide under, to bear up courageously” (under suffering), Mat 10:22; Mat 24:13; Mar 13:13; Rom 12:12, translated “patient;” 1Co 13:7; 2Ti 2:10, 2Ti 2:12 (AV, “suffer”); Heb 10:32; Heb 12:2-3, Heb 12:7; Jam 1:12; Jam 5:11; 1Pe 2:20, “ye shall take it patiently.” It has its other significance, “to tarry, wait for, await,” in Luk 2:43; Act 17:14 (in some mss., Rom 8:24). Cp. B. See ABIDE, PATIENT, SUFFER, TARRY. Cp. makrothumeo, “to be longsuffering” (see No. 7).
“to bear,” is translated “endured” in Rom 9:22; Heb 12:20. See BEAR.
a strengthened form of No. 3, “to bear or carry,” by being under, is said metaphorically of “enduring” temptation, 1Co 10:13, AV, “bear;” persecutions, 2Ti 3:11; griefs, 1Pe 2:19. See BEAR.
“to hold up” (ana, “up,” echo, “to hold or have”), always in the Middle Voice in the NT, is rendered “endure” in 2Th 1:4, of persecutions and tribulations; in 2Ti 4:3, of sound doctrine. See BEAR.
“to be steadfast, patient,” is used in Heb 11:27, “endured,” of Moses in relation to Egypt. In the Sept., Job 2:9; Isa 42:14.
“to be long-tempered” (makros, “long,” thumos, “mind”), is rendered “patiently endured” in Heb 6:15, said of Abraham. See B. below. See BEAR, LONGSUFFERING, PATIENCE, SUFFER.
Note: In 2Ti 2:9, kakopatheo, “to suffer evil” (kakos, “evil,” pascho, “to suffer”), is translated “endure hardness,” AV; RV, “suffer hardship;” so in 2Ti 4:5, AV, “endure afflictions;” elsewhere in Jam 5:13. In 2Ti 2:3 the most authentic mss. have sunkakopatheo, “to suffer hardship with,” as in 2Ti 1:8. See HARDSHIP, SUFFER.
“patience,” lit., “a remaining under” (akin to A, No. 2), is translated “patient enduring” in 2Co 1:6, RV, for AV, “enduring.” Cp. makrothumia, “longsuffering” (akin to A, No. 7). See PATIENCE.
