19th century text
The love of the Bible will show itself in a believer's "readiness to bear" evil as well as to do good. It will make him patient under provocation, forgiving when injured, meek when unjustly attacked, quiet when slandered. It will make him bear much and forbear much, put up with much and look over much, submit often and deny himself often, all for the sake of peace.

soportar
o resistir.
to endure, do without - según el Merriam Webster. También obsolete : to do without // to hold oneself back from especially with an effort
De modo que podría ser "abstenerse", pero en el contexto que das, yo diría
"soportar (aguantar) y resistir mucho" ya que las dos siguientes también son dobles (put up + look over, submit + deny himself)

renunciar
Mira el enlace. A lo mejor, para conservar el juego de palabras entre "bear" y "forbear", puedes emplear en ambos el mismo infinitivo, y en "forbear" acompañarlo de "dejar de"... es una idea.
