New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 5:3
  
  let us rejoice: Some ancient manuscripts read “we rejoice.” The Greek verb used here could also be rendered “exult; boast.”
  
  endurance: The Greek noun hy·po·mo·neʹ is used in the Scriptures to denote the courageous, steadfast, or patient “endurance” of a person who does not lose hope in the face of obstacles, persecutions, trials, or temptations. The related verb hy·po·meʹno, rendered “to endure,” literally means “to remain (stay) under.” It is often used in the sense of “remaining instead of fleeing; standing one’s ground; persevering; remaining steadfast.” (Mt 10:22; Ro 12:12; Heb 10:32; Jas 5:11) When a Christian patiently and steadfastly endures trials with divine help, he proves that he has endurance.
