'Good' in the Bible

And our hope for you [our confident expectation of good for you] is firmly grounded [assured and unshaken], since we know that just as you share as partners in our sufferings, so also you share as partners in our comfort.

And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,

and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,

in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—

we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

(For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):

By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;

For I was not put to shame in anything in which I may have made clear to him my pride in you; but as we said nothing to you but what was true, so the good things which I said to Titus about you were seen by him to be true.

I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.

And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.

So here is my opinion on this matter: It is to your advantage, since you made a good start last year both in your giving and your desire to give,

and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good news is through all the assemblies,

Therefore, show these men, in the sight of the churches, the proof of your love and our reason for being proud of you.

But I have sent the brothers, so that the good things we said about you may be seen to be true, and that, as I said, you may be ready:

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and for the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all,

Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:

For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.

for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ,

in the places beyond you to proclaim good news, not in another's line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;

for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept -- well were ye bearing it,

The sin did I do -- myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you?

I must boast, although it does not do any good. Let's talk about visions and revelations from the Lord.

Now we pray to God that you not do wrong in any way, not that we are seen as approved, but that you do what is good, even [though] we are [seen] as though unqualified.

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
