Luke21:19
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
Patience is either passive, seen in a quiet free and courageous, suffering those Evils which God will please in his Providence to order us for our Portion; or Active seen in a quiet believing waiting for, and expectation of what God hath promised. Possess your Souls, that is, your selves, do not decline suffering for my Names sake, but live in the Exercise of Christian courage and fortitude until the Lord will please to release you. In this Sense Iames expounds this Phrase, Iames 1.4. But let Patience have her perfect Work, that you may be perfect, and entire, wanting nothing. Others say, Possess your Souls, is the same with save your Souls. So it seems to be expounded by Matthew 24.13. and Mark 13.13. But he that indureth to the end, shall be saved.
