1 Corinthians 13:7

Beareth [σ τ ε γ ε ι]. See on suffer, ch. 9 12. It keeps out resentment as the ship keeps out the water, or the roof the rain.

Endureth [υ π ο μ ε ν ε ι]. An advance on beareth : patient acquiescence, holding its ground when it can no longer believe nor hope.

"All my days are spent and gone; And ye no more shall lead your wretched life, Caring for me. hard was it, that I know, My children! Yet one word is strong to loose, Although alone, the burden of these toils, For love in larger store ye could not have From any than from him who standeth here." SOPHOCLES, "Oedipus at Colonus," 613 - 618.
