forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the'son of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing;

For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.

But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and'so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.

For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

suffering wrong as the hire of wrong-doing; men that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceivings while they feast with you;

even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.

Or else let these men themselves say what wrong-doing they found when I stood before the council,

but declared both to them of Damascus first and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:

But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

But now complete the doing also; that as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.

And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:--

not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men:

doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing.

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.

I charge thee in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
