Neal A. Maxwell
"Enduring is, quite naturally, equated in some respects with holding out or holding fast. It certainly includes the capacity to endure for one moment more. It also includes, as we have noted, enduring customized tests of our trust in God. A Nephite prophet had angered corrupt judges by denouncing them and, by inspiration, advised them of the murder of a judge and the murderer's identity. Surely he knew that by so declaring he could be entrapped and accused of being a 'confederate' in the crime-which indeed happened. Then further inspiration came by which the murderer was caused to confess the crime. Had Nephi been disobedient or lacking in faith or endurance the harvest of souls who came to believe him at that time would not have occurred. (Helaman 8:27-9:41.)" (If Thou Endure It Well, p. 120)
