'Work' in the Bible

because we recall in the presence of our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

And so we too constantly thank God that when you received God's message that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human message, but as it truly is, God's message, which is at work among you who believe.

to aspire to lead a quiet life, to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, as we commanded you.

and to esteem them most highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
