'Seek' in the Bible

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

For those who are living according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh [which gratify the body], but those who are living according to the Spirit, [set their minds on] the things of the Spirit [His will and purpose].

What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness [who did not seek salvation and a right relationship with God, nevertheless] obtained righteousness, that is, the righteousness which is produced by faith;

Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

And Isaiah is even bold enough to say, "I was found by those who did not seek me; I became well known to those who did not ask for me."

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened,

Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."

As for us who are strong, our duty is to bear with the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not seek our own pleasure.

For even the Christ did not seek His own pleasure. His principle was, "The reproaches which they addressed to Thee have fallen on me."
