For an example ( υποδειγμα ). Late word for the old παραδειγμα, from υποδεικνυμ, to copy under, to teach (Lu 6:47), here for copy to be imitated as in Joh 13:15, as a warning (Heb 4:11). Here predicate accusative with τους προφητας (the prophets) as the direct object of λαβετε (second aorist active imperative of λαμβανω ).

Of suffering ( της κακοπαθιας ). Old word from κακοπαθης (suffering evil, κακοπαθεω in verse 13; 2Ti 2:3, 9), here only in N.T.

Of patience ( μακροθυμιας ). Like μακροθυμεω in 5:7. See both μακροθυμια and υπομονη in 2Co 4:6; Col 1:11 (the one restraint from retaliating, the other not easily succumbing).
