Struggle

They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.

Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

…since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
