Doing Good

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

• Anointing
• Power
• Works

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

• Works

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

• Fear
• Heart

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

• Unthankful
• Character

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

• Washing

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

• Unprofitable
• Character

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

• Character

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

• Angel
• Joy

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

• Demons
• Abraham
• Obedience

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
