'Good' in the Bible

to those who, by perseverance in good work, seek glory and honor and immortality, eternal life,

but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and to the Greek.

And [why] not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, in order that good may come [of it]? Their condemnation is just!

And not being weak in faith, he considered his own body as good as dead, [because he] was approximately a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

For only rarely will someone die on behalf of a righteous person (for on behalf of a good person possibly someone might even dare to die),

So then, the law [is] holy, and the commandment [is] holy and righteous and good.

Therefore, [did that which is] good become death to me? May it never be! Rather [it was] sin, in order that it might be recognized [as] sin, producing death through [what is] good for me, in order that sin might become sinful to an extraordinary degree through the commandment.

But if what I do not want [to do], this I do, I agree with the law that [it is] good.

For I know that good does not live in me, that is, in my flesh. For the willing is present in me, but the doing [of] the good [is] not.

For the good that I want [to do], I do not do, but the evil that I do not want [to do], this I do.

Consequently, I find the principle with me, the one who wants to do good, that evil is present with me.

And we know that all [things] work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to [his] purpose,

for [although they] had not yet been born, or done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God according to election might remain,

And how will they preach, unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How timely [are] the feet of those who bring good news of good things."

But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that you may approve what [is] the good and well-pleasing and perfect will of God.

Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what [is] evil; be attached to what [is] good,

Pay back no one evil for evil. Take thought for [what is] good in the sight of all people.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

For rulers are not a [cause of] terror for a good deed, but for bad [conduct]. So do you want not to be afraid of authority? Do what [is] good, and you will have praise from it,

for it is God's servant to you for what [is] good. But if you do what [is] bad, be afraid, because it does not bear the sword to no purpose. For it is God's servant, the one who avenges for punishment on the one who does [what is] bad.

Therefore do not let your good be slandered.

[It is] good not to eat meat or to drink wine or [to do anything] by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is weakened.

Let each one of us please his neighbor for his good, for the purpose of edification.

For [the report of] your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, and I want you to be wise toward what [is] good, but innocent toward what [is] evil.
