This adverb appears in Acts 26:3, where Paul asks King Agrippa to hear him patiently. The term combines 'long' (μακρός) and 'passion/anger' (θυμός), literally meaning 'long of temper' — the opposite of quick-tempered. It describes the disposition of bearing with others or circumstances without losing composure or giving way to anger. Paul's request acknowledges that his defense will require careful attention to Jewish customs and controversies, asking for the kind of patient hearing that doesn't rush to judgment.
