Here is a call for: see 13.10 for comments on the translation of this phrase.

This verse is similar to 13.10b. For saints see 5.8; for those who keep the commandments of God, see 12.17; and for keep … the faith of Jesus, see 2.13. Here faith may have the sense of belief, “those who continue to believe in Jesus,” or it may mean faithfulness, “those who are faithful followers of Jesus.” The latter is to be preferred.

Alternative translation models for this verse are:

• All of this means that God’s people must be patient. These are the people who obey God’s commandments and follow Jesus faithfully.

Or:

• All of this means that the people who obey God’s commandments and continue to believe in Jesus must be patient. They are God’s people.
