The verb from which the noun "agony" is derived is used to denote an earnest endeavour or striving, as "Strive [agonize] to enter" (Luke 13:24 ); "Then would my servants fight" [agonize] (John 18:36 ). Compare 1 Corinthians 9:25; Colossians 1:29; 4:12; 1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Timothy 4:7 , where the words "striveth," "labour," "conflict," "fight," are the renderings of the same Greek verb.
