'Seriously' in the Bible

While Peter was still thinking seriously about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look! Three men are looking for you.

Bringing them before the chief magistrates, they said, “These men are seriously disturbing our city. They are Jews

And some of the rulers of Asia, being his friends, sent to him, requesting him seriously not to put himself in danger by going into the theatre.

Therefore be continually alert, remembering that for three years, night or day, I did not stop admonishing and advising each one [of you] with tears.

Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:

We [earnestly] urge you, believers, admonish those who are out of line [the undisciplined, the unruly, the disorderly], encourage the timid [who lack spiritual courage], help the [spiritually] weak, be very patient with everyone [always controlling your temper].

Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a brother.

In a similar way urge the young men to be sensible and self-controlled and to behave wisely [taking life seriously].
