And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. And hast borne - The same things mentioned in the preceding verse, but in an inverted order, the particular reason of which does not appear; perhaps it was intended to show more forcibly to this Church that there was no good which they had done, nor evil which they had suffered, that was forgotten before God.
And hast not fainted - They must therefore have had a considerable portion of this love remaining, else they could not have thus acted.
