Transitioning from foundational graces to social graces, Paul lists "patience" as the fourth fruit of the Spirit. The word for patience means something like "long to anger" and refers specifically to the intentional act of restraining anger in the face of provocation. Patience, unlike "steadfastness" or "endurance," has to do with people and social situations rather than to events or circumstances. By restraining anger in the face of provocation, redeemed sinners act in a god-like fashion since long-suffering is a divine quality (Ex. 34:6). When believers exercise patience towards one another, they engage in the kind of behavior which contributes to congregational unity and peace.
