'Persist' in the Bible

To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?

But I will persist in the same line of conduct in order to cut the ground from under the feet of those who desire an opportunity of getting themselves recognized as being on a level with us in the matters about which they boast.

Those who persist in sin reprove in the presence of all, so that it may also be a warning to the rest.

For if we wilfully persist in sin after having received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains in reserve any other sacrifice for sins.

For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.
