I press on Paul says that It is the habit of my life to keep pressing on for the verb dioko is in the present tense, which emphasizes the lifelong commitment that gripped and guided this sold out saint. Are you sold out Has a passion for pursuit of the Person of Christ gripped your heartWhat you are passionate about is that for which you will make time What the Bible teaches  I shall never forget seeing a prize winning picture of two great runners, the one pictured giving a glance backward to see his rival, the other runner, breasting the tape on the other side. The photographer captured in that tense moment a race lost by a backward glance. Press on1. 37. 7 dioko from do pursue, prosecute, persecute means to follow or press hard after, literally to pursue as one does a fleeing enemy. It means to chase, harass, vex and pressure and was used for chasing down criminals. Dioko speaks of an intensity of effort leading to a pursue with earnestness and diligence in order to obtain. To go after with the desire of obtaining or in some contexts the desire to harm. It gives us the picture of going on the track of something like the hounds on the hunt and pursuing after the fox and implying a continuing effort to overtake, reach, or attain the goal. Vincent says that dioko is Stronger than follow. A favorite word with Paul to denote the pursuits of moral and spiritual ends. See Rom. 9 3. 0, 3. Cor. 1. 4 1 Philip. Vincent, M. R.

Comment How do we respond to persecution We remember that suffering persecution is part of what it means in certain situations at least to live as a Christian 1. Th 3 4 2. Ti 3 1. Like Paul, when we are persecuted, we endure it 1. Co 4 1. 2. We respond by loving and blessing our persecutors and praying for them Mt 5 4. Ro 1. 2 1. 4. And through it all, we remember that we are surrounded by the love of Jesus. For no hardship or persecution diogmos derived from dioko or famine or nakedness or danger will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord Ro 8 3.

Balz Schneider note thatThe original Greek sense of the word is based on the meaning drive, set in motion, push, which then becomes persecute, banish and, used metaphorically, follow, strive for a person or a thing, push forward zealously, aspire to, be zealously behind something, endeavor with zeal. The NT uses the verb and the noun in connection with Hellenistic Judaism in the sense of religious persecution of Jesus and his followers and then, under the influence also of Greek philosophy, particularly the Stoa, as an expression for striving toward ethical and religious attitudes and goals. Balz, H. R., Schneider, G. Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament. Grand Rapids, Mich. EerdmansNIDNTT writes thatdioko is perhaps connected with the Homeric diemai, flee. It means literally to chase, pursue, run after, drive away, and figuratively to pursue something zealously, try to achieve something, try to obtain, prosecute. In the LXX dioko, along with ekdioko and katadioko, is used primarily of pursuit by hostile soldiers Ex 1. Gen. 3. 1 2. 3. It translates a number of Hebrew verbs, but chiefly radap, pursue the other verbs occur only in isolated instances. This gives rise to the usage which is characteristic of the Psalms of individual lamentation e. Ps 7 1, 5 cf. also Jer 1. The OT also contains exhortations to strive for a goal. In normal Greek settings it will be the good, the beautiful, or virtue that is to be pursued. In the LXX it is relationships, e. Dt. 1. 6 2. 0 cf. Josephus, Ant. 6, 1. Ps. 3. 4 1. 4, and righteousness in the sense of true honoring of God Pr 1. The corresponding NT usage has its roots here. Brown, Colin, Editor. New International Dictionary of NT Theology. ZondervanWarren Wiersbe writes that dioko carries the idea of intense endeavor. The Greeks used it to describe a hunter eagerly pursuing his prey. A man does not become a winning athlete by listening to lectures, watching movies, reading books, or cheering at the games. He becomes a winning athlete by getting into the game and determining to win The same zeal that Paul employed when he persecuted the church Phil. Christ. Come to think of it, wouldnt it be wonderful if Christians put as much determination into their spiritual life as they do their golfing, fishing, or bowlingDioko 4. NAS persecute1. Here are the NT uses of diokoMatthew 5 1. Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Comment One who lives as a Christian and actively represents Gods point of view to a lost world should not be surprised if he or she is persecuted. The same active antagonism that Jesus experienced in one degree or another is promised to the true believer who seeks to live a Spirit filled holy life in front of an unholy world.
