'Work' in the Bible

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

But we should and are [morally] obligated [as debtors] always to give thanks to God for you, believers beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through the sanctifying work of the Spirit [that sets you apart for God’s purpose] and by your faith in the truth [of God’s word that leads you to spiritual maturity].

Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

For we hear that there are some among you who walk irresponsibly, not working at all, but interfering with the work of others.

Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
