Kehillah in Rome 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 5:4

And patience experience
As tribulations tend to exercise and increase patience, so patience being exercised and increased, enlarges the saints' stock and fund of experience; of the love and grace of God communicated to them at such seasons; of his faithfulness in fulfilling his promises; of his power in supporting them; and of their own frailty and weakness; and so are taught humility, thankfulness, and resignation to the will of God:

and experience, hope;
hope is a gift of God's grace, and is implanted in regeneration, but abounds, increases, and becomes more strong and lively by experience of the love, grace, mercy, power, and faithfulness of God.

Kehillah in Rome 5:4 In-Context

2 Through whom also we have HaSha’ar laHashem (gate to appoach G-d’s presence, access of the Tzaddikim TEHILLIM 118:20) by emunah into this unmerited Chen v’Chesed in which we stand and glory in tikvah of the kavod Eloheinu.
3 Not only so, but we also glory in tzoros (troubles, afflictions), knowing that tzarah (trouble) produces zitzfleisch (patience),
4 Zitzfleisch produces tested character and midos, and tested character and midos produce tikvah.
5 And tikvah does not in the end lead to our being meyayesh (despairing) in disillusionment and bushah (shame) (TEHILLIM 25:3), because the Ahavas Hashem (G-d’s love) has been poured out in our levavot through the Ruach Hakodesh given to us.
6 For while we were still helpless, Moshiach died for the resha’im (the unrighteous persons, the wicked), doing so at the appointed time [DANIEL 9:24-26]!
