'Purpose' in the Bible

Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the purpose of God, and Timothy our brother,

For this reason, we, from the day when we had word of it, keep on in prayer for you, that you may be full of the knowledge of his purpose, with all wisdom and experience of the Spirit,

Of which I became a servant by the purpose of God which was given to me for you, to give effect to the word of God,

And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.

And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.

And I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may have news of how we are, and so that he may give your hearts comfort;

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his love, ever taking thought for you in his prayers, that you may be complete and fully certain of all the purpose of God.
