Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort
you that
ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
ἐπαγωνίζεσθαι-->
1864 epagōnízomai (from
1909 /epí, "focused
on" and
73 /agṓn, "a contest, competition") – properly, to
contend (literally, "
struggle upon, appropriately"), i.e.
with skill and commitment in opposing whatever is not of faith (God's
persuasion).
