GALATIANS 5:22 | MARILYN LOCK | VENDOR

Patience - True Rasberry Delight!

 

Patience - Longsuffering and Patient Power

 

One Greek word— humpomonee —is translated

"patience" in almost all Bible versions and implies

patient endurance.  The other Greek word is even

more interesting. It is makrothumia, translated

"patience" in some Bible versions but more accurately

as "longsuffering" in others.

 

Without makrothumia, we human beings tend to be

temperamental having an irritable temperament and

bad temper. We tend to "lose patience" and "lose our cool"

and even "blow up" (like an impatients plant).
