Rev 14:12 | NETfull | STEP | This requires the steadfast endurance of the saints – those who obey God’s commandments and hold to their faith in Jesus.

Revelation of John 14:12

12 This requires ^{▼▼ Grk “Here is.”} the steadfast endurance ^{▼▼ Or “the perseverance.”} of the saints – those who obey ^{▼▼ Grk “who keep.”} God’s commandments and hold to ^{▼▼ The words “hold to” are implied as a repetition of the participle translated “keep” (οἱ τηροῦντες, hoi tērountes).} their faith in Jesus. ^{▼▼ Grk “faith of Jesus.” The construction may mean either “faith in Jesus” or “faithful to Jesus.” Either translation implies that ᾿Ιησοῦ (Iēsou) is to be taken as an objective genitive; the difference is more lexical than grammatical because πίστις (pistis) can mean either “faith” or “faithfulness.”}
