'Purpose' in the Bible

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,

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.

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