Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῇ ἀνοχῇ τοῦ Θεοῦ

in the forbearance ¬the ˱of˲_God

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of forbearance, you could express the same idea with a different form. Alternate translation: [because God is so forbearing] or [since God forbears]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἐν τῇ ἀνοχῇ τοῦ Θεοῦ

in the forbearance ¬the ˱of˲_God

Paul is using the possessive form to describe God as being characterized by forbearance. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [in God’s forbearance]
