Hi all
I have decided to throw in my lot here at b-greek for the first time. I
have looked up this word and found it to be extremely interesting and in
fact speaks exactly to a situation with which I was dealing only this
week-end.
anexikakon - acc. sing. masc anexikakos
According to Walter Bauer this word is used in the Apocryphal Book "The
Wisdom of Solomon" 2: 19 also and is translated *forbearance*. It speaks to
*bearing evil without resentment*, the *patience* of the Christian. I take
it to mean leaving room open always for communication and reconciliation.
