În this verse it is necessary to clarify the terms. For the word “temptation” we have peirasmos, that is “trial” or “test”, “probation”, and the word “patience” we have hypomone, to remain on the position on long term, to be unshaken that is “consistency”. It is more than patience. Probation is like training that is intended to develop your resistance, and the consistency of your fidelity to God. That is the key to victory in trial.
