Bear with people
Hi,
Person A bears with person B.
Generally speaking, what does it mean?
Does it mean person B hurt person A (for example insulting), but person A does not say anything harsh back, does not become angry, and does not seek ways to revenge, ignores (maybe grudgelingly and bitterly, or maybe gladly) the hurt, and does not mention it to person A?
Thanks a lot.

stephenlearnerPerson A bears with person B.Imagine someone trying to explain a complex idea. He keeps talking and talking. He notices that the listeners are starting to get bored. He says to the others, "Bear with me. I'm coming to the point". Then he continues, finally finishing his explanation.
In part, the speaker is apologizing for no

Hi,
I found a verse from the NIV Bible:
Colossians 3: 12-13
12 Therefore, as ***'s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
We do not talk about faith. I j

stephenlearnerSo, linguistically speaking, what does "bear with someone" in this verse mean?It means the same as in the examples given above. Be patient with someone; be tolerant toward someone.
