General definition (in Christianity)
: archive.org: Nave's Topical BibleImportunity definition and references: 鈥揝ee Prayer
: archive.org: Hastings' Dictionary of the BibleImportunity refers to:鈥擳he Greek word so translated in Luke 11:8 is literally 鈥榮hamelessness.鈥� It is translated 鈥榠mpudence鈥� in Sir 25:22 . These are its only occurrences in the Bible. It is probable, however, that it had lost some of its original force, and that 鈥榠mportunity鈥� is a fair rendering. The Eng. word signified originally 鈥榙ifficulty of access鈥� ( in-portus ), hence persistence. It is now practically obsolete, and 鈥榩ersistence鈥� might have been introduced into the RV [Note: Revised Version.] .
