<div> '''1: | <div> '''1: '''''Φιλοτιμέομαι''''' ''' (Strong'S #5389 — Verb — philotimeomai — fil-ot-im-eh'-om-ahee ) </div> <p> lit., "to be fond of honor" (phileo, "to love," time, "honor"), and so, actuated by this motive, "to strive to bring something to pass;" hence, "to be ambitious, to make it one's aim," Romans 15:20 , of Paul's "aim" in [[Gospel]] pioneering, RV (AV, "strive"); 2—Corinthians 5:9 , of the "aim" of believers "to be well-pleasing" unto the Lord, RV (AV, "labor"); in 1—Thessalonians 4:11 , of the "aim" of believers to be quiet, do their own business and work with their own hands; both versions translate it "study." Some would render it, "strive restlessly;" perhaps "strive earnestly" is nearer the mark, but "make it one's aim" is a good translation in all three places. See [[Labor]] , [[Strive]] , Study. </p> | ||
