'Persuade' in the Bible

He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and tried to persuade both Jews and Greeks.

Then he entered the synagogue and spoke boldly over a period of three months, engaging in discussion and trying to persuade them about the things of the kingdom of God.

Don’t let them persuade you, because there are more than 40 of them arranging to ambush him, men who have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they kill him. Now they are ready, waiting for a commitment from you.”

Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Are you going to persuade me to become a Christian so easily?”

Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we seek to persuade people. We are completely open before God, and I hope we are completely open to your consciences as well.
