'Good' in the Bible

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 wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!

as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive -- anathema let him be!

And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

and only they were hearing, that 'he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;'

and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;

to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.

but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision,

But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, 'If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?

and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham --

and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

and it is good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;

And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things.

and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;

therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,

having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,

in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth -- the good news of your salvation -- in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

and having come, he did proclaim good news -- peace to you -- the far-off and the nigh,

that the nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,

to me -- the less than the least of all the saints -- was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news -- the untraceable riches of the Christ,

and He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as proclaimers of good news, and some as shepherds and teachers,

whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.

Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;

having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this he shall receive from the Lord, whether servant or freeman.

and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news,

for your contribution to the good news from the first day till now,

having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform it till a day of Jesus Christ,

according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.

And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,

and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set:

Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,

and the proof of him ye know, that as a child serveth a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;

and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as are grave, as many as are righteous, as many as are pure, as many as are lovely, as many as are of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;

and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only;

because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news,

to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God,

if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a ministrant.

because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort we became among you because of you,

but having both suffered before, and having been injuriously treated (as ye have known) in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the good news of God in much conflict,

but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts,

so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to you not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because beloved ye have become to us,

for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God;

Wherefore no longer forbearing, we thought good to be left in Athens alone,

and did send Timotheus -- our brother, and a ministrant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ -- to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,

And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also to see you,

see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

all things prove; that which is good hold fast;

in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;

for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power,

to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;

and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace,

comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.

And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,

and we have known that the law is good, if any one may use it lawfully;

according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them the good warfare,

having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,

but -- which becometh women professing godly piety -- through good works.

and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.

for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that is in Christ Jesus.

because every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, with thanksgiving being received,

These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after,

in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;

be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses.

to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,

therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,

and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news,

the good thing committed guard thou through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;

thou, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;

Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news,

if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master -- to every good work having been prepared,

without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,

that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.

And thou -- watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance,

the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept,

but a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, sober-minded, righteous, kind, self-controlled,

God they profess to know, and in the works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.

aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become sacred persons, not false accusers, to much wine not enslaved, of good things teachers,

sober, pure, keepers of their own houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

concerning all things thyself showing a pattern of good works; in the teaching uncorruptedness, gravity, incorruptibility,

not purloining, but showing all good stedfastness, that the teaching of God our Saviour they may adorn in all things.

who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rule, unto every good work to be ready,

Stedfast is the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works -- who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men,

and let them learn -- ours also -- to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that is in you toward Christ Jesus;

whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,

and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing, that as of necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness,

for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

since then, it remaineth for certain to enter into it, and those who did first hear good news entered not in because of unbelief --

and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.
