What it means

AI Summary
Persecute — to harass, oppress, or hunt down a person with hostile intent, often because of their beliefs; this is the sense used throughout the New Testament for the suffering inflicted on believers 1234.
The same word can also describe pursuing or following someone without hostility, simply going after or accompanying a person 13.
Beyond people, the word is used metaphorically for eagerly seeking or striving after something, such as pressing on toward a goal or pursuing qualities like righteousness, peace, love, or hospitality 13.
One source also records an older sense of putting someone to flight or driving them away, as distinct from pursuing or persecuting them 1.
