'Persisted' in the Bible

Yet he persisted in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who encouraged Israel to sin; he did not turn from them.

But they persisted in saying, "He incites the people by teaching throughout all Judea. It started in Galilee and ended up here!"

When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straight and replied, "Whoever among you is guiltless may be the first to throw a stone at her."

I am also aware that you have persisted steadfastly, endured much for the sake of my name, and have not grown weary.
