Tenacious = Not easily dispelled or discouraged; persisting in existence or in a course of action.
Book of James 1
Chapter 1., Verses
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
So, how can someone possess the quality of "tenacious"? Faith?
