James 5:10

ὑπόδειγμα : Cf. Sir 44:16 and especially John 13:15, ὑπόδ. ἔδωκα ὑμῖν … of our Lord. τῆς κακοπαθείας : ἅπ. λεγ. in N.T. cf. 4Ma 9:8. It means “endurance” rather than the R.V. “suffering”; this goes better with μακροθυμίας, “patience”. The rendering “endurance” has support from the papyri, see Deissmann, Neue Bibelst., pp. 91 f. ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι : although this use of the phrase is paralleled by its use in the papyri (see Deissmann, Bibelst., pp. 143 5: Neue Bibelst., pp. 25, 26), it is more probable that in this case it comes through the Septuagint from the Hebrew בשׁם; cf. above James 2:7.
