Charles Ellicott Commentary Revelation 14:12

"Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." — Revelation 14:12 (ASV)

Here is the patience . . .—Translate, Here is the patience of the saints (not “here are they,” but) who keep, and so forth. In this readiness to wait, to endure through much tribulation to the end, is the patience of the saints seen. There is a patient waiting for Christ shown by those who keep God’s commandments, who cleave to righteousness in spite of much temptation, and who refuse to pay homage to the god of this world because firm in the faith that Jesus is King.
