uJpomonhv (occur together or in the same context in ; ,; ; ,; cf. Clement of Rome, : Ignatius ad ,): Lightfoot remarks (on Colossians, the passage cited), "The difference of meaning is best seen in their opposites. While
uJpomonhv is the temper which does not easily succumb under suffering,

This distinction, though it applies generally, is not true without exception" ...; cf. also his note on , and see (more at length) Trench, N. T. Synonyms, sec. liii.)
