'Work' in the Bible

As a result, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

Thus we urged Titus that, just as he had previously begun this work, so also he should complete this act of kindness for you.

And we are sending along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in spreading the gospel.

And God is able to make all grace overflow to you so that because you have enough of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow in every good work.

But we will not boast beyond certain limits, but will confine our boasting according to the limits of the work to which God has appointed us, that reaches even as far as you.

Nor do we boast beyond certain limits in the work done by others, but we hope that as your faith continues to grow, our work may be greatly expanded among you according to our limits,

so that we may preach the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast of work already done in another person's area.

in hard work and toil, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, many times without food, in cold and without enough clothing.
