6 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “suffer” →
If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
