'Persist' in the Bible

But if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away."

Don't be in a hurry to leave him, and don't persist in evil, for he does whatever he pleases.

will he hold on to his anger forever, will he persist in his wrath to the end?' Look, you have spoken and done evil things, and you have succeeded in it."

If the Jews do not persist in their unbelief, they will be grafted in again, because God is able to graft them in.
