'Work' in the Bible

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.

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 blows, in prisons, in attacks, in hard work, in watchings, in going without food;

And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

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;

Not taking credit to ourselves for what is not our business, that is, for the work of others; but having hope that, with the growth of your faith, we may get the credit for an increase which is the effect of our work,

So that we may be able to go on and take the good news to countries still farther away than you are, and not take credit for another man's work in making things ready to our hand.

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

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 weariness, in frequent watchings, going without food and drink, cold and in need of clothing.
