'Earnest' in the Bible

for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;

who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

And He who did work us to this self-same thing is God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,

preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

and, before all things, to one another having the earnest love, because the love shall cover a multitude of sins;
