striving Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind {striving} together for the faith of the gospel; striving Whereunto I also labour, {striving} according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. striving Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, {striving} against sin. ~~~~~~
