Here is a call
This phrase introduces a directive or an exhortation, emphasizing the importance of what follows. The Greek word for "call" (ὑπομονή, hypomonē) can also be translated as "endurance" or "steadfastness." It suggests a divine summons to remain firm in faith and practice, especially during times of trial. Historically, this call would resonate with early Christians facing persecution, reminding them of their higher purpose and the eternal perspective they must maintain.

for the perseverance
The term "perseverance" is derived from the Greek word "hypomonē," which implies a steadfast endurance under difficult circumstances. It is not merely passive waiting but an active, courageous holding on to faith. In the context of Revelation, this perseverance is crucial as believers face the trials and tribulations of the end times. It is a call to remain faithful and unwavering, reflecting the strength and resilience that comes from a deep-rooted trust in God.

of the saints
"Saints" refers to those who are set apart, the holy ones, or believers in Christ. The Greek word "hagios" signifies those who are consecrated to God, living lives that reflect His holiness. In the early church, saints were often those who faced persecution for their faith, and this term underscores their identity as God's chosen people. The perseverance of the saints is a testament to their commitment to God's commandments and their faith in Jesus, serving as a model for all believers.

who keep the commandments of God
To "keep" the commandments implies a diligent observance and adherence to God's laws. The Greek word "tereo" means to guard or watch over, suggesting an active and intentional effort to live according to God's will. This phrase highlights the importance of obedience as a mark of true discipleship. Historically, the commandments of God would include both the moral laws given in the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus, emphasizing a life of righteousness and devotion.

and the faith of Jesus
The "faith of Jesus" can be understood in two ways: faith in Jesus or the faithfulness of Jesus. The Greek construction allows for both interpretations, but in this context, it likely refers to the believers' faith in Jesus as the Messiah and their trust in His redemptive work. This faith is not merely intellectual assent but a deep, abiding trust that influences every aspect of life. It is the foundation of the saints' perseverance, enabling them to endure trials and remain faithful to God's commandments. Historically, this faith was the cornerstone of the early Christian community, providing hope and strength in the face of persecution.

(12) Here is the patience . . .--Translate, Here is the patience of the saints (not "here are they," but) who keep, &c. In this readiness to wait, to endure through much tribulation to the end, is the patience of the saints seen. There is a patient waiting for Christ shown by those who keep God's commandments, who cleave to righteousness in spite of much temptation, and who refuse to pay homage to the god of this world because firm in the faith that Jesus is King.

Verse 12. - Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus; here is the patience of the saints, they that keep, etc. The patience of the saints is exhibited in believing in, and waiting for, the due retribution which will overtake the wicked at the last, and in maintaining the conflict against the dragon who goes to war with those "who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus" (Revelation 12:17), the testimony which is the outcome of faith (see also on Revelation 13:10).
