Doing the Lord's work without pride, through all the sorrow and troubles which came on me because of the evil designs of the Jews:

But I put no value on my life, if only at the end of it I may see the work complete which was given to me by the Lord Jesus, to be a witness of the good news of the grace of God.

I have demonstrated before you a [good] example in all [these] things, so that you [too] will work hard to help those who are [physically] weak. [Also] remember the words of the Lord Jesus who Himself said, 'It is a greater blessing [for you] to give [to people's needs] than to receive [help yourselves].' "

And when he had said how glad he was to see them, he gave them a detailed account of the things which God had done through his work among the Gentiles.

And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;

and with much work sailed beyond it, and came unto a place called Good Port, nigh whereunto was a city called Lasea.

And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

the next day the storm work'd the ship with great fury; they threw some of her lading over board:

Therefore, let it be known to you that this saving work of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen!”

For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.

Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

who show that the work which the law requires, is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing testimony, and their reasonings with each other accusing, or making excuse.

Now wages are not considered a gift if the person has to work for them, but [rather] an obligation [of his employer].

but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

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;

I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, to (work) iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness, to (work) holiness.

For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

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.

In Christ Jesus, then, I have found [legitimate] reason for boasting in things related [to my service] to God.

Greetings to Prisca and Aquila my fellow labourers in the work of Christ Jesus--

And the God, who brings peace, will soon crush Satan under your feet [i.e., bring an end to the divisive work of the false teachers there]. May the unearned favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Timothy my work-fellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater my kinsmen, salute you.

Now in aim and purpose the planter and the waterer are one; and yet each will receive his own special reward, answering to his own special work.

We work together in God's service; you are God's field to be planted, God's house to be built.

On that foundation, if a man proceeds to build gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, each man's work will be made manifest.

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

I want you to be free from all anxiety. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's work, and how he can please the Lord.

You know that those who work in the Temple get their food from the Temple and that those who serve at the altar get their share of its offerings, don't you?

For if I do this work of my own free will, then I have a reward; but if it is not of my will [but by God’s choosing], I have been entrusted with a [sacred] stewardship.

Then what is my reward? It is being able to preach the good news without receiving financial support [for it], so as not to claim my full rights in [the work of preaching] the good news.

And everything I do is for the sake of [the work of] the Gospel, so that I may share in its benefits.

But I work out and get my body in shape [i.e., spiritually], so that after preaching to other people, I myself do not become disqualified [i.e., for winning the prize from God. See verse 24].

diversities in work, and yet one and the same God--He who in each person brings about the whole result.

to another the powers which work miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

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

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

And I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for they have done what was needed to make your work complete.

But if we are afflicted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort that is at work in the patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.

not that we rule [like dictators] over your faith, but rather we work with you for [the increase of] your joy; for in your faith you stand firm [in your strong conviction that Jesus of Nazareth—the Messiah—is the Son of God, through whom we obtain eternal salvation].

When I went to Troas to preach the good news of the Christ there, I found a good opening for the Lord's work,

For you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh.

But all of us [Christians], with unveiled faces, see the Lord's splendor reflected, as [though we were] looking in a mirror, and [so] are being transformed into His likeness in ever-increasing splendor. This is [the work] of the Lord, [who is] the Holy Spirit.

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;

But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace;

We endeavour to give people no cause for stumbling in anything, lest the work we are doing should fall into discredit.

In blows, in prisons, in attacks, in hard work, in watchings, in going without food;

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.

This led us to urge Titus that, as he had previously been the one who commenced the work, so he should now go and complete among you this act of beneficence also.

But just as you excel in everything, [and lead the way] in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in genuine concern, and in your love for us, see that you excel in this gracious work [of giving] also.
