Luke 21:19

19 By your patient endurance you will purchase your lives.

Luke 21:19 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:19

In your patience, possess ye your souls.
] By patiently bearing all afflictions, reproaches, indignities, and persecutions, enjoy yourselves; let nothing disturb or distress you; possess that peace and joy in your souls, which the world cannot take away; see ( Romans 5:3-5 ) . The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read, "ye shall possess": and the sense may be this; by patient continuance, or by perseverance in the ways of God, and the truths of Christ unto the end, ye shall be saved; shall find your lives, and enjoy your souls, as in ( Matthew 10:22 ) ( 24:13 ) .
