         DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to bring every effort to) to do one’s very best in attempting to do something

         Glosses: ['to do one’s best', 'to make every effort to', 'to try as hard as possible']

         Comments: In some languages it may be almost impossible to speak of ‘adding goodness to faith.’ However, an appropriate equivalent of this expression in {S:06100100500014} may be ‘do your best to be good as well as to believe.’
