'Earnestness' in the Bible

For mark the effects of this very thing--your having sorrowed with a godly sorrow--what earnestness it has called forth in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing affection, what jealousy, what meting out of justice! You have completely wiped away reproach from yourselves in the matter.

I am not saying this by way of command, but to test by the standard of other men's earnestness the genuineness of your love also.

And we send with him the brother whose praises for his earnestness in proclaiming the Good News are heard throughout all the Churches.
