-Ephesians
4:2.How do
we "forbear" one another in love?
The original implies patience with others; that
is, one keeps involved with another, even though there may be things not
liked about another.
Part of the root original Greek word for "forbear"
is "echo", and means 'to see in another those things that are good', and
to hold these things in possession in the heart. This is the essence of
forgiveness.
And the next verse in this same chapter, tells
us to endeavor.(original 'to
work at because it is important to you).to
keep the peace:.Ephesians
4:3 "Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
