{For an example} (hupodeigma). Late word for the old
paradeigma, from hupodeiknumi, to copy under, to teach ( Lu
6:47 ), here for copy to be imitated as in Joh 13:15 , as a
warning ( Heb 4:11 ). Here predicate accusative with ous
proph(8874)as (the prophets) as the direct object of labete
(second aorist active imperative of lamban(935c)). {Of suffering}
( (8873) kakopathias). Old word from kakopath(8873) (suffering evil,
kakopathe(935c) in verse 13 2Ti 2:3,9 ), here only in N.T. {Of
patience} (makrothumias). Like makrothume(935c) in 5:7 . See both
makrothumia and hupomon(885c) in 2Co 4:6 Col 1:11 (the one
restraint from retaliating, the other not easily succumbing). {In
the name of} (en t(9369) onomati). As in Jer 20:9 . With the
authority of the Lord (Deissmann, _Bible Studies_, p. 198).
