A.T. Robertson Commentary Revelation 2:3

"and thou hast patience and didst bear for my name`s sake, and hast not grown weary." — Revelation 2:3 (ASV)

Thou hast (εχεις). Continued possession of patience.

Didst bear (εβαστασας). First aorist indicative of βασταζω, repeated reference to the crisis in verse 2.

And hast not grown weary (κα ου κεκοπιακες). Perfect active indicative of κοπιαω, old verb, to grow weary (Matthew 6:28), play on the word κοπος, late form in -ες, for the regular -ας (λελυκας). like αφηκες (verse 4) and πεπτωκες (verse 5). "Tired in loyalty, not of it. The Ephesian church can bear anything except the presence of impostors in her membership" (Moffatt).
