I don't understand the reply. This is what I get from your reply:

But I suggested using a pair of colons on both sides of the label as in 
"::continue::" (without quotes).

So this should be the code.

for i = 1, 10 do
  if i % 2 == 0 then goto continue end
  print(i)
  local continue
  ::continue::
  -- and if you use continue (the local) here, the compiler will flag 
the error bacuse you're jumping in a variable scope.
end
