I believe the answer is:
abide
This clue is a double definition.
'live' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'bear' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for abide that I've seen before include "Endure, tolerate" , "Stay - suffer" , "lodge" , "Live, dwell (archaic)" , "Remain - tolerate" .)
