It suggests a sense of patience and tolerance, often in the context of enduring difficult circumstances or dealing with challenging individuals. In the New Testament, it is used to encourage believers to exhibit patience and forbearance, reflecting the character of Christ in their interactions with others.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, endurance and patience were considered virtues, often associated with strength and moral character. The early Christian community, living under Roman rule and often facing persecution, would have found the concept of ἀνέκω particularly relevant. It was a call to maintain faith and integrity despite external pressures and internal conflicts.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>433</b> <i>anḗkō</i> (from <a href="/greek/303.htm">303</a> <i>/aná</i>, "<i>up/</i>completing a process" and <a href="/greek/2240.htm">2240</a> <i>/hḗkō</i>, "come") – properly, <i>come up to</i> a particular standard (expectation), i.e. to what is <i>proper</i> (<i>fit</i>, <i>becoming</i>) to give what "is due, suitable" (Souter); doing what is <i>appropriately</i> acceptable.</p><p class="discovery">(Col 3:18) <i>is fit</i> (<a href="/greek/433.htm">433</a> <i>/anḗkō</i>) – Note the imperfect tense ("was fitting"). </p><p class="discovery">[J.
