Now also for this very reason, having brought in all earnestness, supplement into your faith virtue, and into virtue knowledge, and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance (ὑπομονήν); and to perseverance (ὑπομονῇ), godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:5-8 BSB)
Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance (ὑπομονήν). And let endurance (ὑπομονὴ) have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. (James 1:2-4 CSB)
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance (ὑπομονὴν), and endurance (ὑπομονὴ) produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Romans 5:3-5 ESV)
