Others say I urge you. In Greek  the word can be used to earnestly appeal, invite or even summon together: but  in context it is an action word set in the present pointed at a person and  demanding something.<\/p>\n<p>Two things here; firstly you usually don&#8217;t ask (or urge) for  something that isn&#8217;t happening. For example I no one has ever told me &#8220;Rey, I  urge you; I beseech you. No, I beg you&#8211;please have some pizza!&#8221; You don&#8217;t need  to ask; I will eat it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve spent many a superbowl Sunday with friends with no  knowledge of the game but there in thanksgiving of God for enabling men to  design. And I would happily cheer for both teams raising my pizza-greasy hands:  touchdown!<\/p>\n<p>So Paul is urging for something that isn&#8217;t being done.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, sometimes requests questions (especially the  urging ones) sound as if they&#8217;re coming from a position of weakness. Like when  I kept asking my wife if I could get an iPod&#8211;I urged, I beseeched but I had no  power over the situation: she wouldn&#8217;t yield.<\/p>\n<p>But Paul isn&#8217;t some poor Hebrew soul, begging esteemed Roman  gentiles citizens who look down their classical noses . This is not the  beggarly urgings of a weaker individual\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthis is the strong, demanded, request  of the one set apart as an apostle, the servant of Jesus Christ (Head of  Creation ), to carry the Gospel of the Eternal, Omnipotent, Righteous, Merciful  and Living God. Snap to attention and listen!<\/p>\n<p>So therefore, by the mercies of God Paul the apostle  strongly demands for this thing to be done.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblearchive.com\/mambo4_5\/content\/view\/452\/65\/\">Romans Series<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I beseech you says some Bibles.
