'Cause' in the Bible

But it is good to have an interest in a good cause at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true?

But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.

But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.
