'Lay' in the Bible

Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.
