'Good' in the Bible

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God --

for God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who are in Rome to proclaim good news,

for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;

and glory, and honour, and peace, to every one who is working the good, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ.

and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say -- 'We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous.

All did go out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even one.

for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die;

so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good,

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,

for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.

And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

(for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was said to her --

and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, 'How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!'

But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, 'Lord, who did give credence to our report?'

for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree?

As regards, indeed, the good tidings, they are enemies on your account; and as regards the choice -- beloved on account of the fathers;

and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what is the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect.

The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.

For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt have praise from it,

for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil.

Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,

for let each one of us please the neighbour for good, unto edification,

for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;

and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named -- that upon another's foundation I might not build --

and I have known that coming unto you -- in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come.

for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,

for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil;

And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent,
