'Endurance' in the Bible
I, John, who also am your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ;
I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars.
You also possess endurance and have tolerated many things because of My name and have not grown weary.
I know your works—your love, faithfulness, service, and endurance. Your last works are greater than the first.
'Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.
If anyone is destined for captivity,into captivity he goes.If anyone is to be killed with a sword,with a sword he will be killed.This demands the perseverance and faith of the saints.
This demands the perseverance of the saints, who keep God’s commands and their faith in Jesus.”
