2 Pet. 1. 10. in securing salvation, diligent; or doing it throughly, and enough.
1 Tim. 4. 7. in godliness, exercising, or stripping themselves, as for a race.
Luke 13. 24. in the pursuit of happiness, striving, even to an agony.
Act. 26. 7. in prayer, serving God instantly; or in a stretched-out manner; yea, pouring out their hearts before him, Psal. 62. 8 as if the body were left like a dead corps upon the knees, whilst the spirit is departed from it, and ascended to God.
