G4722–στέγω–stegō

If others partake of this right over you, should not rather *we*? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ.

στέγομεν stegomen “we bear”

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

στέγει, stegei “it bears,”

Wherefore, being no longer able to refrain ourselves, we thought good to be left alone in Athens,

στέγοντες stegontes “enduring”

For this reason *I* also, no longer able to refrain myself, sent to know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter had tempted you and our labour should be come to nothing.

στέγων stegōn “enduring”
