'Seeking' in the Bible

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be!

You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
