One day these two words popped into my head with a looming question mark hanging above them. Synonymous? What's the difference?
I believe the overriding difference is one of deadline. Patience sees, knows, or at least hopes for an end to discrepancy. Tolerance resigns to just be OK with it. "Let patience have her perfect work" because she will produce something.
"Tolerance" is only found in a couple translations addressing 2 Cor. 11:21. Other than that reference, I can't find evidence that God is OK to let discrepancy exist indefinitely or that He intends for us to do so either.
