Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";steadfast endurance,"; denoting ";an inward feeling, as well as outward conduct, but directed only towards aggression"; (Hort ad Revelation 2:2 : cf. also Lightfoot Notes, p. II, and Ropes ICC ad James 1:3). Hence in late Jewish literature the word is frequently applied to the virtue shewn by martyrs, e.g. 4 Maccabees 1:11 θαυμασθέντες. . . ἐπὶ τῇ ἀνδρίᾳ καὶ τῇ ὑπομονῇ : cf Pss. Sol. ii. 40 ὅτι χρηστὸς ὁ κύριος τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις αὐτὸν ἐν ὑπομονῇ. In Test. xii. patr. Jos, x. 1 ὁρᾶτε. . . πόσα κατεργάζεται ἡ ὑπομονή, the reference is to resistance to the wiles of the Egyptian woman.
