διατελ-έω G1300
to continue, persist; to remain in a state or continue doing something
This verb means to continue, persist, or carry through to completion. Acts 27:33 has Paul note that 'you continue fasting' (waiting without food).

The durative, continuing aspect—remaining in a condition or persisting in activity—characterizes this term.
