With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
All Commentaries on Ephesians 4:2 Go To Ephesians 4
Gaius Marius Victorinus
AD 400
He speaks of several forms of forbearance, each of which prevents them from being carried away or proud. Lowliness is first, then meekness. Lowliness consists in having a humble mind. Meekness is a curb on pride and cruelty. Patience consists in bearing any adverse circumstance that may befall them. With lowliness and meekness they learn not to be afraid to suffer. With patience they learn how to respond if they must suffer. –.
