ἀνέχω

Matthew 17:17 ἀνέξομαι will I bear with

“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy here to Me.”

Here: 'Will I hold myself up under you', meaning keep putting up with you. It is the language of patience under strain, used in the Greek Old Testament for God bearing with Israel.

Mark 9:19 ἀνέξομαι will I bear with

“O unbelieving generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”

Here: Middle voice, 'hold myself up under', meaning to put up with or tolerate patiently. It is the language of patience under strain, not of giving up.

Luke 9:41 ἀνέξομαι I will bear with

“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

Here: Middle voice: 'hold myself up under', 'bear patiently with'. Its object is in the genitive (ὑμῶν). It describes holding back a justified reaction and patiently carrying people who are a burden.

Acts 18:14 ἀνεσχόμην I have endured with

But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.

1 Corinthians 4:12 ἀνεχόμεθα, we endure,

We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

Here: 'We bear up' or 'we put up with it'. It means holding steady under pressure without hitting back or running away. Here it means not hitting back, not fleeing the calling, and not giving up.

2 Corinthians 11:1 ἀνείχεσθέ ἀνέχεσθέ you were bearing with, you do endure

I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that.

2 Corinthians 11:4 ἀνέχεσθε.¶ you are enduring [it].

For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it very easily.

Here: Present tense: 'you are putting up with it'. This picks up 11:1, where Paul asks them to put up with a little foolishness from him. They tolerate the intruders easily but resist Paul.

2 Corinthians 11:19 ἀνέχεσθε you bear with

For you gladly put up with fools, since you are so wise.

2 Corinthians 11:20 ἀνέχεσθε You bear [it]

In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.

Here: Present tense: 'you keep putting up with it.' This is the key verb of the chapter (11:1, 4, 19, 20). Here it is biting: the Corinthians tolerate abuse from others but resent Paul.

Ephesians 4:2 ἀνεχόμενοι bearing with

with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

Here: A present participle in the middle voice: 'continually holding yourselves up under' the weight of each other. It spells out what patience looks like in practice. The verb assumes there really is something hard to bear.

Colossians 3:13 ἀνεχόμενοι bearing with

Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Here: "Putting up with," holding up under the weight of other people. The present participle describes an ongoing habit, not a single act. It hangs on the command "clothe yourselves" in verse 12 and shows what wearing "patience" looks like in practice.

2 Thessalonians 1:4 ἀνέχεσθε, you are bearing,

That is why we boast among God’s churches about your perseverance and faith in the face of all the persecution and affliction you are enduring.

Here: Present tense: they are bearing it right now and it continues. The picture is holding oneself up under a weight.

2 Timothy 4:3 ἀνέξονται, they will endure,

For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.

Here: 'They will not put up with it.' The picture is listeners who lose patience with teaching they find irritating or demanding. It is not a picture of people who can't understand it.

Hebrews 13:22 ἀνέχεσθε do bear with

I urge you, brothers, to bear with my word of exhortation, for I have only written to you briefly.

Here: In the middle voice: 'hold yourselves up under it', that is, receive patiently, don't resist or reject. Present tense: keep taking it in. It admits that parts of what he wrote are hard to hear.
