Faith, Hope, and Endurance

The verbs that hold the believer in place when the storm is loud

Hupomeno does not mean to grit one's teeth and bear it. It means to stay under the load that is on you because you know what produces. Pisteuo is not the first time you say yes — it is the continuous tense of trusting. Dioko is to pursue something the way an enemy would pursue you — wholehearted, sustained. Aphorao is what the writer of Hebrews tells us to do: fix the eyes off everything else and onto Jesus.
