'Continue' in the Bible

What is the result? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith,

So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence but even more in my absence, continue working out your salvation with awe and reverence,
