'Contend' in the Bible

And if also any one contend in the games, he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully.

And a bondman of the Lord ought not to contend, but be gentle towards all; apt to teach; forbearing;

Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been obliged to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
