'Work' in the Bible

For this reason, you are ever in our prayers, that you may seem to our God such as may have a part in his purpose and that by his power he will make all his good purpose, and the work of faith, complete;

For the secret of evil is even now at work: but there is one who is keeping back the evil till he is taken out of the way.

Give you comfort and strength in every good work and word.

For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.

For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.
