Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Thou hast (exeiv). Continued possession of patience.
Didst bear (ebastasav). First aorist indicative of bastazw, repeated reference to the crisis in verse Revelation 2:2.
And hast not grown weary (kai ou kekopiakev). Perfect active indicative of kopiaw, old verb, to grow weary (Matthew 6:28), play on the word kopov, late form in -ev, for the regular -av (lelukav). like afhkev (verse Revelation 2:4) and peptwkev (verse Revelation 2:5). "Tired in loyalty, not of it. The Ephesian church can bear anything except the presence of impostors in her membership" (Moffatt).
