“to hold up” (ana, “up,” echo, “to have or hold”), is used in the Middle Voice in the NT, signifying “to bear with, endure;” it is rendered “forbearing (one another)” in Eph 4:2<\/span>; Col 3:13<\/span>. See BEAR. Cp. B, No. 1, below. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n lit., “to send up or back” (ana, “up,” hiemi, “to send”), hence, “to relax, loosen,” or, metaphorically, “to desist from,” is translated “forbearing” (threatening) in Eph 6:9<\/span> (“giving up your threatening,” T.K. Abbott). See LEAVE, LOOSE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to spare” (its usual meaning), “to refrain from doing something,” is rendered “I forbear” in 2Co 12:6<\/span>. See SPARE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n properly denotes “to protect by covering;” then, “to conceal;” then, by covering, “to bear up under;” it is translated “forbear” in 1Th 3:1<\/span>, 1Th 3:5<\/span>. See BEAR. <\/p>\n Note: In 1Co 9:6<\/span>, the verb ergazomai, “to work,” is used in the present infinitive, with a; negative, and translated “to forbear working” (lit., “not working”). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “a holding back” (akin to A, No. 1), denotes “forbearance,” a delay of punishment, Rom 2:4<\/span>; Rom 3:25<\/span>, in both places of God’s “forbearance” with men; in the latter passage His “forbearance” is the ground, not of His forgiveness, but of His pretermission of sins, His withholding punishment. In Rom 2:4<\/span> it represents a suspense of wrath which must eventually be exercised unless the sinner accepts God’s conditions; in Rom 3:25<\/span> it is connected with the passing over of sins in times past, previous to the atoning work of Christ. <\/p>\n Note: Cp. the noun epieikeia, Act 24:4<\/span>, “clemency;” 2Co 10:1<\/span>, “gentleness.” Synonymous with this are makrothumia, “longsuffering,” and hupomone, “patience” (see Col 1:11<\/span>). Anoche and makrothumia are used together in Rom 2:4<\/span>. See also Eph 4:2<\/span> (where A, No. 1, is used in this combination). Trench (Syn.) and Abbott-Smith (Lex.) state that huponone expresses patience with regard to adverse things, makrothumia patience with regard to antagonistic persons. It must be observed, however, that in Heb 6:15<\/span> the verb makrothumeo is used of Abraham’s patience under the pressure of trying circumstances (cp. also Jam 5:7-8<\/span>). Makrothumia and hupomone are often found together, e.g., 2Co 6:4<\/span>, 2Co 6:6<\/span>; 2Ti 3:10<\/span>. <\/p>\n “Longsuffering is that quality of self-restraint in the face of provocation which does not hastily retaliate or promptly punish; it is the opposite of anger and is associated with mercy, and is used of God, Exo 34:6<\/span>, Sept., Rom 2:4<\/span>; 1Pe 3:20<\/span>. Patience is the quality that does not surrender to circumstances or succumb under trial; it is the opposite of despondency and is associated with hope, in 1Th 1:3<\/span>; it is not used of God.” * [* From Notes on Thessalonians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 183,184.] <\/p>\n<\/p>\n denotes “patiently forbearing evil,” lit., “patient of wrong,” (from anecho, A, No. 1 and kakos, “evil”), “enduring;” it is rendered “forbearing” in 2Ti 2:24<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n an adjective (from epi, used intensively, and eikos, “reasonable”), is used as a noun with the article in Phi 4:5<\/span>, and translated “forbearance” in the RV; AV, “moderation,” RV, marg., “gentleness,” “sweet reasonableness” (Matthew Arnold). See GENTLE. <\/p>\n Forbear, Forbearance “to hold up” (ana, “up,” echo, “to have or hold”), is used in the Middle Voice in the NT, signifying “to bear with, endure;” it is rendered “forbearing (one another)” in Eph 4:2; Col 3:13.
