'Long suffering' in the Bible

Therefore be longsuffering, brethren, even to the arrival of the Lord. Behold, the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, being longsuffering for it, even till he should receive the early and late rain.

Be longsuffering, ye also; make your hearts firm: for the arrival of the Lord has drawn near.

Take for an example of enduring evil and of long-suffering the prophets, who spake in the name of the Lord.
