'Work' in the Bible

'For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work.

And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why do ye give trouble to the woman? for a good work she wrought for me;

and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal them;

And Jesus said, 'Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:

as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch;

And Jesus said, 'Let her alone; why are ye giving her trouble? a good work she wrought on me;

Jesus saith to them, 'My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

And Jesus answered them, 'My Father till now doth work, and I work;'

work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- even God.'

They said therefore unto him, 'What may we do that we may work the works of God?'

Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'

They said therefore to him, 'What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?

Jesus answered and said to them, 'One work I did, and ye all wonder,

it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: --

Jesus answered them, 'Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?'

The Jews answered him, saying, 'For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.'

I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do it.

and now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it will be overthrown,

and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,'

See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I -- I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare it to you.'

and thence did sail to Antioch, whence they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled;

and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;

whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who did work about such things, he said, 'Men, ye know that by this work we have our wealth;

to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;

who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one another the thoughts accusing or else defending,

for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither is transgression.

And not only so, but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;

Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.

for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work.

the love to the neighbour doth work no ill; the love, therefore, is the fulness of law.

for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, are pure, but evil is to the man who is eating through stumbling.

for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare it, because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

if of any one the work doth remain that he built on it, a wage he shall receive;

if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.

and ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work,

Am not I an apostle? am not I free? Jesus Christ our Lord have I not seen? my work are not ye in the Lord?

or only I and Barnabas, have we not authority -- not to work?

and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I,

so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.

for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us --

And He who did work us to this self-same thing is God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,

for, lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward God -- how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.

and God is able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work,

in every thing being enriched to all liberality, which doth work through us thanksgiving to God,

for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,

and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other,

therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ,

having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform it till a day of Jesus Christ,

And if to live in the flesh is to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not;

So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.

to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God,

and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus -- giving thanks to the God and Father, through him.

and all, whatever ye may do -- out of soul work -- as to the Lord, and not to men,

unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,

Because of this also, we -- we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe;

and to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we did command you,

and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power,

for the secret of the lawlessness doth already work, only he who is keeping down now will hinder -- till he may be out of the way,

comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.

for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

Stedfast is the word: If any one the oversight doth long for, a right work he desireth;

in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;

if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master -- to every good work having been prepared,

that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.

And thou -- watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance,

and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save me -- to his heavenly kingdom; to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen.

God they profess to know, and in the works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.

Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rule, unto every good work to be ready,

make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory -- to the ages of the ages! Amen.

knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,

and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking;

and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing.
