(2Ti 3:10) “But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,…”We are to consider the example of life of this verse in contrast to that of those of the last days. Those of the last days: the pleasure of self before God’s commands. Those of our example of Paul: God’s commands come first, self last, and thus “patience” in all things. “Patience” through the Spirit gives us a faith that trust God’s goodness and purpose to be the end of the negative things which enter the life of the saved one.
