Work

I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.

…and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.

Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?

Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?

All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

…because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.

If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

Now finish the work, so that you may complete it with the same eager desire, according to your means.

Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

…so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.

For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.

For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.

Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?

Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.

…in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,

From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.

He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.

…being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

…because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.

…so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men,

…and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which is also now at work in you who believe.

…and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.

But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.

In love, hold them in highest regard because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith,

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way.

For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”

…or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.

…and well known for good deeds such as bringing up children, entertaining strangers, washing the feet of the saints, imparting relief to the afflicted, and devoting herself to every good work.

Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.

…so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.

But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Remind the believers to submit to rulers and authorities, to be obedient and ready for every good work,

And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.

For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.

Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.

And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.
