'Work' in the Bible

Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work.

Every man's work will be made clear in that day, because it will be tested by fire; and the fire itself will make clear the quality of every man's work.

If any man's work comes through the test, he will have a reward.

If the fire puts an end to any man's work, it will be his loss: but he will get salvation himself, though as by fire.

And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;

Am I not free? am I not an Apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are you not my work in the Lord?

Or I only and Barnabas, have we no right to take a rest from work?

Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.

But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me has not been for nothing; for I did more work than all of them; though not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; because he is doing the Lord's work, even as I am:

That you put yourselves under such, and under everyone who is helping the Lord's work.

And I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for they have done what was needed to make your work complete.
