'Endurance' in the Bible

I John, your brother, and a sharer with you in the sorrows and Kingship and patient endurance of Jesus, found myself in the island of Patmos, on account of the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus.

I know your doings, your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled harder than you did at first.

If any one is eager to lead others into captivity, he must himself go into captivity. If any one is bent on killing with the sword, he must himself be killed by the sword. Here is an opportunity for endurance, and for the exercise of faith, on the part of God's people.

Here is an opportunity for endurance on the part of God's people, who carefully keep His commandments and the faith of Jesus!"
