{Your forbearance} ( o epieikes hum(936e)). "Your gentleness,"
"your sweet reasonableness" (Matthew Arnold), "your moderation."
Old adjective (epi, eikos) as in Jas 3:17 1Ti 3:3 . Article
and neuter singular here= h(8820)epieikeia ( Ac 24:4 2Co 10:1 )
like to chr(8873)ton in Ro 2:4 . {The Lord is at hand} (ho kurios
eggus). "The Apostle's watchword" (Lightfoot), as in 1Co 16:22
(Maran atha, Aramaic equivalent, Our Lord cometh). Unless,
indeed, eggus here means near in space instead of {nigh} in
time.
