'Pursuing' in the Bible

What can we say, then? Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, have attained righteousness, a righteousness that comes through faith.

But Israel, pursuing the law for righteousness, has not achieved the righteousness of the law.

And why? Because they were pursuing a righteousness which should arise not from faith, but from what they regarded as merit. They stuck their foot against the stone which lay in their way;

to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

Therefore, let's keep on pursuing those things that bring peace and that lead to building up one another.
