And patience experience,....
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)reformed

Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832evangelical
And patience works more experience of the sincerity of our grace, and of God's power and faithfulness.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755evangelical
