Patience (Gr. makrothumía, “patience”, “firmness”, “constancy”, “resistance”; hupomone, “patience”, “constancy”, “strength”, “perseverance”, “firmness”). Patience is the quality of resisting steadfastly, with confident expectation of a desired end, despite difficulties, discouragement, and discouraging circumstances, and often suffering. Repeatedly NT writers include patience in the list of Christian 879 virtues (Rom 5:3, 4; 2Co 6:4; 1 Tit 6:11; 2Pe 1:6; 2 Tit 3:10). Patience is based on hope (Rom 8:24, 25; 1Th 1:3, BJ). Since “through many tribulations we shall enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22), and particularly since entry into that coming kingdom of glory involves a long period of waiting, patience or persevering constancy becomes be a cardinal Christian virtue (Heb 10:36; Jam 1:3, 4); patience that always reminds us: “The sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” (Rom 8:18). The term “patience” appears twice in the OT: in Job 6:11 it translates the heb. ‘arîk, which has the sense of “prolong life”, in Pro 25:15 translates Heb. ‘ôrek ‘appayim, “to endure with good cheer.”

The words gr. †™upomone and makrothumia translate as patience, but they are not exactly synonymous. †™Upomone is the quality of withstanding tests. Those who possess this virtue are free from cowardice and discouragement. It is primarily an attitude of the heart towards things.
Makrothumia is an attitude towards people. Patience is one facet of the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22); it is a virtue that God appreciates in a special way in human beings and that seems to develop better in trials (Rom 5:3-4; Jam 1:3-4). Both terms apply to God (Rom 2:4; 1Pe 3:20), apparently always in relation to persons.

It is the virtue that God exercises when he does not immediately punish the offenses that men do to him. God, after “having overlooked, on his p. past sins†, now calls men to repent (Rom 3:25; Rom 9:22). It is equivalent to long-suffering, in which God is rich (Rom 2:4). he is “merciful and merciful; slow to anger, and abundant in mercy† (Exo 34:6). Man, then, must follow God’s example, exercising p. with others (Pro 14:29; Pro 15:18). “Better is he that is slow to anger than the strong” (Pro 16:32). Christians are to be “patient with everyone” (1Th 5:14). Our behavior should be “with all humility and meekness, bearing with p. one another in love† (Eph 4:2), because p. it is a component of the “fruit of the Spirit” (Gal 5:22; Col 3:12).
The term is also used to denote the human capacity to withstand the calamities of life. The believer should have † œoverjoyment† when he finds himself in various tests, knowing that thus his † œfaith produces p† (Jas 1: 2-3). They are called to imitate those who “by faith and p. they inherit the promises† (Heb 6:12). The verb “wait”, widely used in the Psalms, speaks of it. “Keep silence before the Lord, and hope in him” (Ps 37:7). It is put as a paradigm †œp. of Job† (Jas 5:11), and it is noted that it was a characteristic of the Pauline apostolate (2Co 6:4; 2Co 12:12). To do God’s will you need to exercise p. (Hebrews 10:36). Believers should wait with p. the second coming of Christ (Jas 5:7). the p. characterizes true Christians (Rev 1:9; Rev 2:2-3, Rev 2:19; Rev 3:10; Rev 13:10; Rev 14:12).

vet, It implies suffering adverse circumstances expecting, but in a voluntary way, and not by mere necessity. There are many exhortations to the Christian for the exercise of this virtue, so that the believer can bear without grumbling those tests ordained by the Lord, as well as the oppositions, injustices and provocations that may fall on him because of the name of Christ (Rom. 5:3, 4; 8:25; 15:4; Gal 5:22; Eph 4:22; Col 1:11; 3:12; Tit 2:2; Heb 6:12; 10 :36; James 1:3, 4; 5:7, 8, 10, 11; 2 Pet. 1:6, etc.). This patience of the saints must be a reflection of the patience of God himself, who is called “the God of patience” (Rom. 15:5), who has certainly shown it towards a world full of sin, with a view to the cross of Christ: “having passed over, in his patience, past sins” (Rom. 3:25). Also in the ancient world God revealed his patience by leaving a long time for repentance to Noah’s contemporaries (1 Pet. 3:20), and it is insisted that “the patience of God is for salvation” (2 P. 3:15). Since the believer has to manifest the spirit of Christ, he is called to exercise “the patience of Christ” (cf. 2 Thess. 3: 5), and this “until the coming of the Lord” (Jas. 5: 7) .

Human and Christian virtue that moves to carry with tranquility and serenity, with peace, the various ups and downs, pleasant or unpleasant, of life and work.
Patience is closely related to strength, tolerance, endurance, knowing how to endure and resist adversity. That is why it implies an understanding attitude with people and with facts. It establishes direct links with resignation, serenity, conformity, fidelity and hope. It is the ability to maintain peace if obstacles disturb it and they suppose strength.
It is very different from “ataraxia” (Greek attitude of indifference and imperturbability) and is very distant from superiority to others. Patience is compatible with interest in things and the desire for quick resolution of problems. But interest is compatible with the strength of the mind to overcome nervousness, intemperance, or irritability.
This vision of patience is what is noticed in the Wisdom Books of the Sda. Scripture and in the Prophets who speak of it. “You are my patience, Lord, and you are my hope” (Ps. 70. 5); “God is patient with everyone” (Wis. 15.1-6)”. And “just like God with us, we must be patient with everyone” (Eccli. 2. 1-11).
In the New Testament patience is spoken of as endurance (anextos, or enjomai) up to 23 times and patience as serenity (makro-zumeo or makor-zumia) 25 times. The message is clearly exposed in a theocentric sense: “God is patient with everyone” (Lk. 18.7). That is why “he rewards the one who knows how to be patient to the end” (Mt. 10.22) and is irritated by the one who does not know how to be patient with his debtors, as reflected in the parable of the servant who asked “his master for patience, to whom he owed a hundred talents and he did not know how to be patient with the colleague who owed him 100 coins”. (Mt. 18.23-35)
Jesus blesses the patients: Blessed are the peacemakers (patients), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Mt. 5.10)

Patience is synonymous with long-suffering (Gr. “makro-zymia”: long-suffering, patience). God is patient (Ex 34, 6; Wis 15, 1; Eclo 18, 11; Mt 18, 27; m 9, 22; 1 Tim 1, 16; 1 Pe 3, 20; 2 Pe 3, 9). And he never forgets the patience of his elect (Lk 18, 7); man must be patient with his fellow men (2 Sam 16, 10; Tob 2, 8; Job 1, 20; Prov 15, 29; Mt 18, 26. 29; Eph 4, 2; Col 1, 11; 3, 12 ; 1 Thess 5, 14; 2 Tim 3, 10; 4, 2). Having patience is also synonymous with enduring (Gr. “anejomai”: lift, hold, bear), referred, more than to the inner attitude, to the outer behavior. Thus, God does not let himself be carried away by the outburst to immediately punish the sinner, but he is patient, he puts up with him to see if he converts, but this does not prevent him from applying his justice (Rom 2, 4; 3, 26). Jesus Christ patiently endured the adverse attitude towards Him (Mt 17, 17; Mk 9, 19; Lk 9, 11; cf. Heb 12, 1-3; 1 Pe 2, 10). The wicked judge adopts the opposite attitude (Lk 18, 1-8). Patience is an important virtue in the Christian (Rom 15, 5; 1 Cor 13, 7; 2 Cor 1, 6; 6, 4; 12, 12; 2 Thess 3, 5; Col 1, 11; 1 Tim 6, 11; 2 Tim 3, 10; Rev 1, 9; 2, 2. 3. 19; 3, 10; 13, 10; 14, 12). One must have patience, constancy in suffering, in the tests that will precede the parousia (Mt 10, 22; 24, 13; Mk 13, 13), because salvation will be achieved through patience (Lk 21, 19).
