'Seek' in the Bible

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

Only, let each one live the life which the Lord has assigned him, and to which God has called him [for each person is unique and is accountable for his choices and conduct, let him walk in this way]. This is the rule I make in all the churches.

Was anyone at the time of his calling [from God already] circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called while uncircumcised? He is not to be circumcised.

Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.

just as I also try to please everyone in all things. I do not seek my own benefit, but the benefit of many, so that they may be saved.

But always seek to excel in the greater gifts. And now I will point out to you a way of life which transcends all others.

doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
