'Work' in the Bible

And in this regard we pray for you always, that our God will make you worthy of his calling and fulfill by his power your every desire for goodness and every work of faith,

For the hidden power of lawlessness is already at work. However, the one who holds him back will do so until he is taken out of the way,

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command: "If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat."

For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others.

Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat.
