'Keeps' in the Bible
I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.
because everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the door opened.
When the strong man armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace;
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled [before others], and he who habitually humbles himself (keeps a realistic self-view) will be exalted.”
