'Nobly' in the Bible

They were thoroughly astounded and completely overwhelmed, saying, “He has done everything well! He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak!”

“But I say to you who hear [Me and pay attention to My words]: Love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, [make it a practice to] do good to those who hate you,

You are giving thanks well enough [in a way that God is glorified], but the other person [who does not understand you] is not edified [and spiritually strengthened since he cannot join in your thanksgiving].

You were running [the race] well; who has interfered and prevented you from obeying the truth?

Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.

Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect.

Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.
