'Devote' in the Bible

But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the preaching ministry.”

Do not deprive one another sexually—except when you agree for a time, to devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again; otherwise, Satan may tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving.

This saying is trustworthy. I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed God might be careful to devote themselves to good works. These are good and profitable for everyone.

And our people must also learn to devote themselves to good works for cases of urgent need, so that they will not be unfruitful.
