In English, patience sounds polite. Quiet endurance. Saying nothing. But Romans 5:4 uses the Greek word hypomonē. It means remaining under. Not escaping pressure. Not rising above it. But staying when leaving would be easier. This kind of patience often marks long lives. You stayed through seasons that didn’t improve. You endured things that never got resolved. Hypomonē is not about temperament. It is about courage. Scripture doesn’t praise patience because it feels noble. It praises patience because it costs something. #BibleStudy #GreekWord #Patience #Endurance #FaithOverTime
