    In 1 Corinthians 10:13, the aorist active infinitive occurs in the clause about being able amid temptation; the APB renders the outcome as being able to "endure." In 1 Peter 2:19, the present active indicative describes enduring griefs while suffering unjustly, and in 2 Timothy 3:11 the aorist active indicative recounts persecutions and sufferings already endured.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "endure" in all three verses, in settings of temptation, unjust suffering, and persecutions. This consistency confirms the verses' overall portrayal rather than establishing a finer distinction.
