<p> '''''en''''' -'''''de´vẽr''''' : The sense of this word has suffered weakening since the time of the King James Version. Then it implied utmost exertion and success; now rather forlorn hope and possible failure. Thus the Revised Version (British and American) reads "giving diligence," "give diligence," for the King James Version "endeavoring," "endeavor," in Ephesians 4:3; 2 Peter 1:15 , respectively; but "endeavored" is suffered to remain in 1 Thessalonians 2:17 ( σπουδάζω , <i> '''''spoudázō''''' </i> , "hasten," "exert oneself"). Compare also Acts 16:10 , the King James Version "endeavored," the Revised Version (British and American) "sought" (Greek <i> '''''zētéō''''' </i> , "seek"). </p> | <div> '''1: σπουδάζω ''' (Strong'S #4704 Verb spoudazo spoo-dad'-zo ) </div> <p> "to make haste, to be zealous," and hence, "to be diligent," is rendered "endeavoring" in Ephesians 4:3 , [[Av;]] [[Rv,]] "giving diligence." In 2 Peter 1:15 , [[Av,]] "endeavor," [[Rv,]] "give diligence." Both have "endeavored" in 1 Thessalonians 2:17 . See Diligence. </p> <div> '''2: ζητέω ''' (Strong'S #2212 Verb zeteo dzay-teh'-o ) </div> <p> "to seek after," is translated "endeavor" in Acts 16:10 , [[Av,]] [[Rv,]] "sought." See [[About]] (to be), [[Desire]] , [[Inquire]] , Seek. </p> | ||
