%X The Greek word hypomon¨¥ frequently has a more active quality than translations such as ¡°patience¡± or ¡°endurance¡± suggest. This is particularly the case in the book of Revelation, where some scholars have suggested translating it as ¡°resistance¡± or ¡°nonviolent resistance.¡± This article argues that ¡°enduring resistance¡± is the most appropriate way of rendering this word in John¡¯s Apocalypse. This translation highlights hypomon¨¥ as part of Revelation¡¯s call for its audience to engage in nonviolent resistance to the evils and seductions of the Roman Empire
