'Work' in the Bible

But if we are afflicted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort that is at work in the patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.

It is not that we are trying to rule over your faith, but rather to work with you for your joy, because you have been standing firm in the faith.

For you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh.

And so death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us --

And He who did work us to this self-same thing is God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace;

Giving no cause for trouble in anything, so that no one may be able to say anything against our work;

in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights, and hunger;

for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,

for, lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward God -- how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.

So we urged Titus to finish this work of kindness among you in the same way that he had started it.

Indeed, the more your faith, speech, knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for us increase, the more we want you to be rich in this work of kindness.

And we are sending along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in spreading the gospel.

More than that, he has also been selected by the churches to travel with us while we are administering this work of kindness for the glory of the Lord and as evidence of our eagerness to help.

As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker in your service; and as for the [other two] brothers, they are [special] messengers of the churches, a glory and credit to Christ.

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

in every thing being enriched to all liberality, which doth work through us thanksgiving to God,

For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;

For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;

But we will not boast beyond certain limits, but will confine our boasting according to the limits of the work to which God has appointed us, that reaches even as far as you.

We are not boasting about work done by others that cannot be evaluated. On the contrary, we cherish the hope that your faith may continue to grow and enlarge our sphere of action among you until it overflows.

so that we may preach the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast of work already done in another person's area.

I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;

But I will go on doing what I'm doing in order to deny an opportunity to those people who want an opportunity to be recognized as our equals in the work they are boasting about.

Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.

in hard work and toil, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, many times without food, in cold and without enough clothing.
