'Work' in the Bible

For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

But if I go on living in the flesh--if this is the fruit of my work--then I do not see what decision to make.

Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.

And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:

But his quality is clear to you; how, as a child is to its father, so he was a help to me in the work of the good news.

But it seemed to me necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, who has taken part with me in the work and in the fight, and your servant, sent by you for help in my need;

Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.

And I make request to you, true helper in my work, to see to the needs of those women who took part with me in the good news, with Clement and the rest of my brother-workers whose names are in the book of life.
