J. N. Darby Translation

3
and endurest, and hast borne for my name’s sake, and hast not wearied:

W. Kelly Translation

+
3
and hast patience, and hast bornea for my name’s sake, and art not weariedb.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Many invert the order and add "and." In this text "and hast borne" is connected with "for my name’s sake."
b
The common text, followed by the KJV, is in some respects corrupted.—Their toil was known, and endurance they were not only eminent for, but they had it still. They had proved intolerant of evil persons and especially of such as falsely claimed high ecclesiastical authority; whilst they had manifested their willingness to bear wrongs or afflictions for Christ’s sake; and in all this they were not weary.
