Definition:

The terms "persevere" and "perseverance" refer to continuing to do something even though it may be very difficult or take a long time.

To persevere can also mean to keep acting in a Christ-like way even while going through difficult trials or circumstances.
If a person has "perseverance" it means he is able to keep doing what he should do, even when it is painful or difficult.
Continuing to believe what God teaches requires perseverance, especially when faced with false teachings.
Be careful not to use a word like "stubborn" which usually has a negative meaning.
