It is often translated as "patience" or "long-suffering" in English. This term emphasizes a self-restraint that does not hastily retaliate or punish, especially when faced with offenses or challenges. In the New Testament, makrothumia is frequently associated with the character of God and the expected behavior of believers, highlighting the virtue of enduring trials and showing mercy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, patience was not always considered a virtue, as strength and immediate action were often valued. However, in Jewish and early Christian thought, patience was seen as a reflection of divine character. The concept of makrothumia was counter-cultural, promoting a lifestyle of endurance and forgiveness rather than revenge or immediate justice. This virtue was particularly important for early Christians who faced persecution and needed to maintain their faith and witness under pressure.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3115</b> <i>makrothymía</i> (from <a href="/greek/3117.htm">3117</a> <i>/makrós</i>, "long" and <a href="/greek/2372.htm">2372</a> <i>/thymós</i>, "passion, anger") – properly, long-passion, i.e. waiting sufficient time before expressing anger.
