'Exhorting' in the Bible

And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation!”

just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children,

Through Silvanus, our faithful brother (for so I regard him), I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!
