usage An old notion that it is wrong to say *I feel good* in reference to health still occasionally appears in print. The origins of this notion are obscure, but they seem to combine someone's idea that good should be reserved to describe virtue and uncertainty about whether an adverb or an adjective should follow feel. Today nearly everyone agrees that both good and well can be predicate adjectives after feel. Both are used to express good health, but good may connote good spirits in addition to good health.

Here are scriptures to help shed light on the meaning of Strong's G18, G19, and G2570 as used in the Bible:
 

Matthew 5:16 KJV+ Let your5216 light5457 so3779 shine2989 before1715 men,444 that3704 they may see1492 your5216 good2570 works,2041 and2532 glorify1392 your5216 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 heaven.3772

Matthew 5:44-45 KJV+ But1161 I1473 say3004 unto you,5213 Love25 your5216 enemies,2190 bless2127 them that curse2672 you,5209 do4160 good2573 to them that hate3404 you,5209 and2532 pray4336 for5228 them which despitefully use1908 you,5209 and2532 persecute1377 you;5209 45 That3704 ye may be1096 the children5207 of your5216 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 heaven:3772 for3754 he maketh his848 sun2246 to rise393 on1909 the evil4190 and2532 on the good,18 and2532 sendeth rain1026 on1909 the just1342 and2532 on the unjust.94

Matthew 7:11-12 KJV+ If1487 ye5210 then,3767 being5607 evil,4190 know1492 how to give1325 good18 gifts1390 unto your5216 children,5043 how much4214 more3123 shall your5216 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 heaven3772 give1325 good things18 to them that ask154 him?846 12 Therefore3767 all things3956 whatsoever3745, 302 ye would2309 that2443 men444 should do4160 to you,5213 do4160 ye5210 even2532 so3779 to them:846 for1063 this3778 is2076 the3588 law3551 and2532 the3588 prophets.4396

Matthew 7:17-20 KJV+ Even so3779 every3956 good18 tree1186 bringeth forth4160 good2570 fruit;2590 but1161 a corrupt4550 tree1186 bringeth forth4160 evil4190 fruit.2590 18 A good18 tree1186 cannot1410, 3756 bring forth4160 evil4190 fruit,2590 neither3761 can a corrupt4550 tree1186 bring forth4160 good2570 fruit.2590 19 Every3956 tree1186 that bringeth not forth4160, 3361 good2570 fruit2590 is hewn down,1581 and2532 cast906 into1519 the fire.4442 20 Wherefore686 by575 their846 fruits2590 ye shall know1921 them.846

Matthew 12:32-34 KJV+ And2532 whosoever3739, 302 speaketh2036 a word3056 against2596 the3588 Son5207 of man,444 it shall be forgiven863 him:846 but1161 whosoever3739, 302 speaketh2036 against2596 the3588 Holy40 Ghost,4151 it shall not3756 be forgiven863 him,846 neither3777 in1722 this5129 world,165 neither3777 in1722 the3588 world to come.3195 33 Either2228 make4160 the3588 tree1186 good,2570 and2532 his846 fruit2590 good;2570 or else2228 make4160 the3588 tree1186 corrupt,4550 and2532 his846 fruit2590 corrupt:4550 for1063 the3588 tree1186 is known1097 by1537 his fruit.2590 34 O generation1081 of vipers,2191 how4459 can1410 ye, being5607 evil,4190 speak2980 good things?18 for1063 out1537 of the3588 abundance4051 of the3588 heart2588 the3588 mouth4750 speaketh.2980

Matthew 13:18-23 KJV+ Hear191 ye5210 therefore3767 the3588 parable3850 of the3588 sower.4687 19 When any one3956 heareth191 the3588 word3056 of the3588 kingdom,932 and2532 understandeth4920 it not,3361 then cometh2064 the3588 wicked4190 one, and2532 catcheth away726 that which was sown4687 in1722 his846 heart.2588 This3778 is2076 he which received seed4687 by3844 the3588 way side.3598 20 But1161 he that received the seed4687 into1909 stony places,4075 the same3778 is2076 he that heareth191 the3588 word,3056 and2532 anon2117 with3326 joy5479 receiveth2983 it;846 21 Yet1161 hath2192 he not3756 root4491 in1722 himself,1438 but235 endureth for a while:2076, 4340 for1161 when tribulation2347 or2228 persecution1375 ariseth1096 because1223 of the3588 word,3056 by and by2117 he is offended.4624 22 He also that received seed4687, 1161 among1519 the3588 thorns173, (3778) is2076 he that heareth191 the3588 word;3056 and2532 the3588 care3308 of this5127 world,165 and2532 the3588 deceitfulness539 of riches,4149 choke4846 the3588 word,3056 and2532 he becometh1096 unfruitful.175 23 But1161 he that received seed4687 into1909 the3588 good2570 ground1093 is2076 he that heareth191 the3588 word,3056 and2532 understandeth4920 it; which3739 also1211 beareth fruit,2592 and2532 bringeth forth,4160 some3588, (3303) a hundredfold1540, (1161) some3588 sixty,1835, (1161) some3588 thirty.5144

Matthew 13:24-30 KJV+ Another243 parable3850 put he forth3908 unto them,846 saying,3004 The3588 kingdom932 of heaven3772 is likened unto3666 a man444 which sowed4687 good2570 seed4690 in1722 his848 field:68 25 But1161 while men444 slept,2518 his846 enemy2190 came2064 and2532 sowed4687 tares2215 among303, 3319 the3588 wheat,4621 and2532 went his way.565 26 But1161 when3753 the3588 blade5528 was sprung up,985 and2532 brought forth4160 fruit,2590 then5119 appeared5316 the3588 tares2215 also.2532 27 So1161 the3588 servants1401 of the3588 householder3617 came4334 and said2036 unto him,846 Sir,2962 didst not3780 thou sow4687 good2570 seed4690 in1722 thy4674 field?68 from whence4159 then3767 hath2192 it tares?2215 28 (1161) He3588 said5346 unto them,846 An(444) enemy2190 hath done4160 this.5124 The3588 servants1401 said2036 unto him,846 Wilt2309 thou then3767 that we go565 and2532 gather them up?4816, 846 29 But1161 he3588 said,5346 Nay;3756 lest3379 while ye gather up4816 the3588 tares,2215 ye root up1610 also the3588 wheat4621 with260 them.846 30 Let863 both297 grow together4885 until3360 the3588 harvest:2326 and2532 in1722 the3588 time2540 of harvest2326 I will say2046 to the3588 reapers,2327 Gather ye together4816 first4412 the3588 tares,2215 and2532 bind1210 them846 in1519 bundles1197 to burn2618 them:846 but1161 gather4863 the3588 wheat4621 into1519 my3450 barn.596

Matthew 13:45-50 KJV+ Again,3825 the3588 kingdom932 of heaven3772 is2076 like unto3664 a merchant1713 man,444 seeking2212 goodly2570 pearls:3135 46 Who,3739 when he had found2147 one1520 pearl3135 of great price,4186 went565 and sold4097 all3956 that3745 he had,2192 and2532 bought59 it.846 47 Again,3825 the3588 kingdom932 of heaven3772 is2076 like unto3664 a net,4522 that was cast906 into1519 the3588 sea,2281 and2532 gathered4863 of1537 every3956 kind:1085 48 Which,3739 when3753 it was full,4137 they drew307 to1909 shore,123 and2532 sat down,2523 and gathered4816 the3588 good2570 into1519 vessels,30 but1161 cast906 the3588 bad4550 away.1854 49 So3779 shall it be2071 at1722 the3588 end4930 of the3588 world:165 the3588 angels32 shall come forth,1831 and2532 sever873 the3588 wicked4190 from1537 among3319 the3588 just,1342 50 And2532 shall cast906 them846 into1519 the3588 furnace2575 of fire:4442 there1563 shall be2071 wailing2805 and2532 gnashing1030 of teeth.3559

Matthew 15:26-27 KJV+ But1161 he3588 answered611 and said,2036 It is2076 not3756 meet2570 to take2983 the3588 children's5043 bread,740 and2532 to cast906 it to dogs.2952 27 And1161 she3588 said,2036 Truth,3483 Lord:2962 yet1063 the3588 dogs2952 eat2068 of575 the3588 crumbs5589 which fall4098 from575 their848 masters'2962 table.5132

Matthew 18:8-9 KJV+ Wherefore1161 if1487 thy4675 hand5495 or2228 thy4675 foot4228 offend4624 thee,4571 cut them off,1581, 846 and2532 cast906 them from575 thee:4675 it is2076 better2570 for thee4671 to enter1525 into1519 life2222 halt5560 or2228 maimed,2948 rather than2228 having2192 two1417 hands5495 or2228 two1417 feet4228 to be cast906 into1519 everlasting166 fire.4442 9 And2532 if1487 thine4675 eye3788 offend4624 thee,4571 pluck it out,1807, 846 and2532 cast906 it from575 thee:4675 it is2076 better2570 for thee4671 to enter1525 into1519 life2222 with one eye,3442 rather2228 than having2192 two1417 eyes3788 to be cast906 into1519 hell1067 fire.4442

Matthew 19:16-17 KJV+ And,2532 behold,2400 one1520 came4334 and said2036 unto him,846 Good18 Master,1320 what5101 good thing18 shall I do,4160 that2443 I may have2192 eternal166 life?2222 17 And1161 he3588 said2036 unto him,846 Why5101 callest3004 thou me3165 good?18 there is none3762 good18 but1508 one,1520 that is, God:2316 but1161 if1487 thou wilt2309 enter1525 into1519 life,2222 keep5083 the3588 commandments.1785

Matthew 20:12-15 KJV+ Saying,3004 These3778 last2078 have wrought4160 but one3391 hour,5610 and2532 thou hast made4160 them846 equal2470 unto us,2254 which have borne941 the3588 burden922 and2532 heat2742 of the3588 day.2250 13 But1161 he3588 answered611 one1520 of them,846 and said,2036 Friend,2083 I do thee no wrong:91, 4571, 3756 didst not3780 thou agree4856 with me3427 for a penny?1220 14 Take142 that thine4674 is, and2532 go thy way:5217 I(1161) will2309 give1325 unto this5129 last,2078 even2532 as5613 unto thee.4671 15 Is it not lawful1832, 3756 for me3427 to do4160 what3739 I will2309 with1722 mine own?1699, (1487) Is2076 thine4675 eye3788 evil,4190 because3754 I1473 am1510 good?18

Matthew 22:9-13 KJV+ Go4198 ye therefore3767 into1909 the3588 highways,1327, 3598 and2532 as many as3745, 302 ye shall find,2147 bid2564 to1519 the3588 marriage.1062 10 So2532 those1565 servants1401 went out1831 into1519 the3588 highways,3598 and gathered together4863 all3956 as many as3745 they found,2147 both5037 bad4190 and2532 good:18 and2532 the3588 wedding1062 was furnished4130 with guests.345 11 And1161 when the3588 king935 came in1525 to see2300 the3588 guests,345 he saw1492 there1563 a man444 which had not on1746, 3756 a wedding1062 garment:1742 12 And2532 he saith3004 unto him,846 Friend,2083 how4459 camest1525 thou in hither5602 not3361 having2192 a wedding1062 garment?1742 And1161 he3588 was speechless.5392 13 Then5119 said2036 the3588 king935 to the3588 servants,1249 Bind1210 him846 hand5495 and2532 foot,4228 and take him away,142, 846 and2532 cast1544 him into1519 outer1857 darkness;4655 there1563 shall be2071 weeping2805 and2532 gnashing1030 of teeth.3599

Romans 10:15-17 KJV+ And1161 how4459 shall they preach,2784 except3362 they be sent?649 as it2531 is written,1125 How5613 beautiful5611 are the3588 feet4228 of them that preach the gospel2097 of peace,1515 and bring glad tidings2097 of good things!18 16 But235 they have not3756 all3956 obeyed5219 the3588 gospel.2098 For1063 Isaiah2268 saith,3004 Lord,2962 who5101 hath believed4100 our2257 report?189 17 So then686 faith4102 cometh by1537 hearing,189 and1161 hearing189 by1223 the word4487 of God.2316

Romans 12:2 KJV+ And2532 be not3361 conformed4964 to this5129 world:165 but235 be ye transformed3339 by the3588 renewing342 of your5216 mind,3563 that ye5209 may prove1381 what5101 is that good,18 and2532 acceptable,2101 and2532 perfect,5046 will2307 of God.2316

Romans 12:9 KJV+ Let love26 be without dissimulation.505 Abhor655 that which is evil;4190 cleave2853 to that which is good.18

Romans 12:17 KJV+ Recompense591 to no man3367 evil2556 for473 evil.2556 Provide4306 things honest2570 in the sight1799 of all3956 men.444

Romans 12:21 KJV+ Be not3361 overcome3528 of5259 evil,2556 but235 overcome3528 evil2556 with1722 good.18

Romans 13:3-4 KJV+ For1063 rulers758 are1526 not3756 a terror5401 to good18 works,2041 but235 to the3588 evil.2556 Wilt2309 thou then1161 not3361 be afraid5399 of the3588 power?1849 do4160 that which is good,18 and2532 thou shalt have2192 praise1868 of1537 the same:846 4 For1063 he is2076 the minister1249 of God2316 to thee4671 for1519 good.18 But1161 if1437 thou do4160 that which is evil,2556 be afraid;5399 for1063 he beareth5409 not3756 the3588 sword3162 in vain:1500 for1063 he is2076 the minister1249 of God,2316 a revenger1558 to1519 execute wrath3709 upon him that doeth4238 evil.2556

Romans 14:16-21 KJV+ Let not3361 then3767 your5216 good18 be evil spoken of:987 17 For1063 the3588 kingdom932 of God2316 is2076 not3756 meat1035 and2532 drink;4213 but235 righteousness,1343 and2532 peace,1515 and2532 joy5479 in1722 the Holy40 Ghost.4151 18 For1063 he that in1722 these things5125 serveth1398 Christ5547 is acceptable2101 to God,2316 and2532 approved1384 of men.444 19 (686) Let us therefore follow after1377, 3767 the things3588 which make for peace,1515 and2532 things3588 wherewith one may edify3619, (1519) another.240 20 For1752 meat1033 destroy2647 not3361 the3588 work2041 of God.2316 All things3956 indeed3303 are pure;2513 but235 it is evil2556 for that man444 who eateth2068 with1223 offense.4348 21 It is good2570 neither3361 to eat5315 flesh,2907 nor3366 to drink4095 wine,3631 nor3366 any thing whereby1722, 3739 thy4675 brother80 stumbleth,4350 or2228 is offended,4624 or2228 is made weak.770

Romans 15:1-3 KJV+ We2249 then1161 that are strong1415 ought3784 to bear941 the3588 infirmities771 of the3588 weak,102 and2532 not3361 to please700 ourselves.1438 2 Let(1063) every one1538 of us2257 please700 his neighbor4139 for1519 his good18 to4314 edification.3619 3 For1063 even2532 Christ5547 pleased700 not3756 himself:1438 but,235 as2531 it is written,1125 The3588 reproaches3680 of them that reproached3679 thee4571 fell1968 on1909 me.1691

Romans 15:14 KJV+ And1161 I1473 myself848 also2532 am persuaded3982 of4012 you,5216 my3450 brethren,80 that3754 ye848 also2532 are2075 full3324 of goodness,19 filled4137 with all3956 knowledge,1108 able1410 also2532 to admonish3560 one another.240

Romans 16:18-20 KJV+ For1063 they that are such5108 serve1398 not3756 our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 but235 their own1438 belly;2836 and2532 by1223 good words5542 and2532 fair speeches2129 deceive1818 the3588 hearts2588 of the3588 simple.172 19 For1063 your5216 obedience5218 is come abroad864 unto1519 all3956 men. I am glad5463 therefore3767 on your behalf:1909, 5213 but1161 yet I would2309 have you5209 wise(1511), 4680 unto(1519) that which is good,18 and1161 simple185 concerning1519 evil.2556 20 And1161 the3588 God2316 of peace1515 shall bruise4937 Satan4567 under5259 your2257 feet4228 shortly.1722, 5034 The3588 grace5485 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547 be with3326 you.5216 Amen.281

1 Corinthians 5:5-8 KJV+ 5 To deliver3860 such a one5108 unto Satan4567 for1519 the destruction3639 of the3588 flesh,4561 that2443 the3588 spirit4151 may be saved4982 in1722 the3588 day2250 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus.2424 6 Your5216 glorying2745 is not3756 good.2570 Know1492 ye not3756 that3754 a little3398 leaven2219 leaveneth2220 the3588 whole3650 lump?5445 7 Purge out1571 therefore3767 the3588 old3820 leaven,2219 that2443 ye may be5600 a new3501 lump,5445 as2531 ye are2075 unleavened.106 For1063 even2532 Christ5547 our2257 passover(3957) is sacrificed2380 for5228 us:2257 8 Therefore5620 let us keep the feast,1858 not3361 with1722 old3820 leaven,2219 neither3366 with1722 the leaven2219 of malice2549 and2532 wickedness;4189 but235 with1722 the unleavened106 bread of sincerity1505 and2532 truth.225

1 Corinthians 7:1-8 KJV+ 1 Now1161 concerning4012 the things whereof3739 ye wrote1125 unto me:3427 It is good2570 for a man444 not3361 to touch680 a woman.1135 2 Nevertheless,1161 to avoid(1223) fornication,4202 let every man1538 have2192 his own1438 wife,1135 and2532 let every woman1538 have2192 her own2398 husband.435 3 Let the3588 husband435 render591 unto the3588 wife1135 due3784 benevolence:2133 and1161 likewise3668 also2532 the3588 wife1135 unto the3588 husband.435 4 The3588 wife1135 hath not power1850, 3756 of her own2398 body,4983 but235 the3588 husband:435 and1161 likewise3668 also2532 the3588 husband435 hath not power1850, 3756 of his own2398 body,4983 but235 the3588 wife.1135 5 Defraud650 ye not3361 one the other,240 except1509, 302 it be with1537 consent4859 for4314 a time,2540 that2443 ye may give yourselves4980 to fasting3521 and2532 prayer;4335 and2532 come together4905 again,3825 that2443 Satan4567 tempt3985 you5209 not3361 for1223 your5216 incontinency.192 6 But1161 I speak3004 this5124 by2596 permission,4774 and not3756 of2596 commandment.2003 7 For1063 I would2309 that all3956 men444 were1511 even as5613, 2532 I myself.1683 But235 every man1538 hath2192 his proper2398 gift5486 of1537 God,2316 one3739, 3303 after this manner,3779 and1161 another3739 after that.3779 8 I say3004 therefore1161 to the3588 unmarried22 and2532 widows,5503 It is2076 good2570 for them846 if1437 they abide3306 even as I.2504, 5613

1 Corinthians 7:25-28 KJV+ 25 Now1161 concerning4012 virgins3933 I have2192 no3756 commandment2003 of the Lord:2962 yet1161 I give1325 my judgment,1106 as5613 one that hath obtained mercy1653 of5259 the Lord2962 to be1511 faithful.4103 26 I suppose3543 therefore3767 that this5124 is5225 good2570 for1223 the3588 present1764 distress,318 I say, that3754 it is good2570 for a man444 so3779 to be.1511 27 Art thou bound1210 unto a wife?1135 seek2212 not3361 to be loosed.3080 Art thou loosed3089 from575 a wife?1135 seek2212 not3361 a wife.1135 28 But1161 and2532 if1437 thou marry,1060 thou hast not3756 sinned;264 and2532 if1437 a virgin3933 marry,1060 she hath not3756 sinned.264 Nevertheless1161 such5108 shall have2192 trouble2347 in the3588 flesh:4561 but1161 I1473 spare5339 you.5216

1 Corinthians 9:14-16 KJV+ 14 Even2532 so3779 hath the3588 Lord2962 ordained1299 that they which preach2605 the3588 gospel2098 should live2198 of1537 the3588 gospel.2098 15 But1161 I1473 have used5530 none3762 of these things:5130 neither1161, 3756 have I written1125 these things,5023 that2443 it should be so3779 done1096 unto1722 me:1698 for1063 it were better2570 for me3427 to(3123) die,599 than2228 that2443 any man5100 should make my glorying void.2758, 3450, 2745 16 For1063 though1437 I preach the gospel,2097 I3427 have2076 nothing3756 to glory of:2745 for1063 necessity318 is laid upon1945 me;3427 yea,1161 woe3759 is2076 unto me,3427 if1437 I preach not the gospel!2097, 3361

2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV+ 10 For1063 we2248 must1163 all3956 appear5319 before1715 the3588 judgment seat968 of Christ;5547 that2443 every one1538 may receive2865 the things3588 done in1223 his body,4983 according4314 to that3739 he hath done,4238 whether1535 it be good18 or1535 bad.2556

2 Corinthians 8:21 KJV+ 21 Providing for4306 honest things,2570 not3756 only3440 in the sight1799 of the Lord,2962 but235 also2532 in the sight1799 of men.444

2 Corinthians 9:8 KJV+ And1161 God2316 is able1415 to make all grace abound4052, 3956, 5485 toward1519 you;5209 that2443 ye, always3842 having2192 all3956 sufficiency841 in1722 all3956 things, may abound4052 to1519 every3956 good18 work:2041

2 Corinthians 13:7 KJV+ 7 Now1161 I pray2172 to4314 God2316 that ye5209, (3361) do4160 no3367 evil;2556 not3756 that2443 we2449 should appear5316 approved,1384 but235 that2443 ye5210 should do4160 that which is honest,2570 though1161 we2249 be5600 as5613 reprobates.96

Galatians 4:18 KJV+ But1161 it is good2570 to be zealously affected2206 always3842 in1722 a good2570 thing, and2532 not3361 only3440 when I3165 am present3918 with4314 you.5209

Galatians 5:22 KJV+ But1161 the3588 fruit2590 of the3588 Spirit4151 is2076 love,26 joy,5479 peace,1515 longsuffering,3115 gentleness,5544 goodness,19 faith,4102

Galatians 6:6 KJV+ (1161) Let him that is taught2727 in the3588 word3056 communicate2841 unto him that teacheth2727 in1722 all3956 good things.18

Galatians 6:9-10 KJV+ And1161 let us not3361 be weary1573 in well2570 doing:4160 for1063 in due2398 season2540 we shall reap,2325 if we faint1590 not.3361 10 As5613 we have2192 therefore686, 3767 opportunity,2540 let us do2038 good18 unto4314 all3956 men,(1161) especially3122 unto4314 them who are of the household3609 of faith.4102

Ephesians 2:8-12 KJV+ For1063 by grace5485 are2075 ye saved4982 through1223 faith;4102 and2532 that5124 not3756 of1537 yourselves:5216 it is the3588 gift1435 of God:2316 9 Not3756 of1537 works,2041 lest3363 any man5100 should boast.2744 10 For1063 we are2070 his846 workmanship,4161 created2936 in1722 Christ5547 Jesus2424 unto1909 good18 works,2041 which3739 God2316 hath before ordained4282 that2443 we should walk4043 in1722 them.846 11 Wherefore1352 remember,3421 that3754 ye5210 being in time past4218 Gentiles1484 in1722 the flesh,4561 who3588 are called3004 Uncircumcision203 by5259 that which is called3004 the Circumcision4061 in1722 the flesh4561 made by hands;5499 12 That3754 at1722 that1565 time2540 ye were2258 without5565 Christ,5547 being aliens526 from the3588 commonwealth4174 of Israel,2474 and2532 strangers3581 from the3588 covenants1242 of promise,1860 having2192 no3361 hope,1680 and2532 without God112 in1722 the3588 world:2889

Ephesians 4:28-29 KJV+ Let him that stole2813 steal2813 no more:3371 but1161 rather3123 let him labor,2872 working2038 with his hands5495 the thing which is good,18 that2443 he may have2192 to give3330 to him that needeth.2192, 5532 29 Let no3361, (3956) corrupt4550 communication3056 proceed1607 out of1537 your5216 mouth,4750 but235 that1536 which is good18 to4314 the3588 use5532 of edifying,3619 that2443 it may minister1325 grace5485 unto the3588 hearers.191

Ephesians 5:9 KJV+ (For1063 the3588 fruit2590 of the3588 Spirit4151 is in1722 all3956 goodness19 and2532 righteousness1343 and2532 truth;)225

1 Timothy 2:9-15 KJV+ In like manner5615 also,2532 that women1135 adorn2885 themselves1438 in1722 modest2887 apparel,2689 with3326 shamefacedness127 and2532 sobriety;4997 not3361 with1722 braided hair,4117 or2228 gold,5557 or2228 pearls,3135 or2228 costly4185 array.2441 10 But235 (which3739 becometh4241 women1135 professing1861 godliness)2317 with1223 good18 works.2041 11 Let the woman1135 learn3129 in1722 silence2271 with1722 all3956 subjection.5292 12 But1161 I suffer2010 not3756 a woman1135 to teach,1321 nor3761 to usurp authority over831 the man,435 but235 to be1511 in1722 silence.2271 13 For1063 Adam76 was first4413 formed,4111 then1534 Eve.2096 14 And2532 Adam76 was not3756 deceived,538 but1161 the3588 woman1135 being deceived538 was1096 in1722 the transgression.3847 15 Notwithstanding1161 she shall be saved4982 in1223 childbearing,5042 if1437 they continue3306 in1722 faith4102 and2532 charity26 and2532 holiness38 with3326 sobriety.4997

1 Timothy 3:1 KJV+ This is a true4103 saying,3056 If a man1536 desire3713 the office of a bishop,1984 he desireth1937 a good2570 work.2041

1 Timothy 3:7 KJV+ Moreover1161 he846 must1163, (2532) have2192 a good2570 report3141 of575 them which are without;1855 lest3363 he fall1706 into1519 reproach3680 and2532 the snare3803 of the3588 devil.1228

1 Timothy 3:13 KJV+ For1063 they that have used the office of a deacon1247 well2573 purchase4046 to themselves1438 a good2570 degree,898 and2532 great4183 boldness3954 in1722 the faith4102 which3588 is in1722 Christ5547 Jesus.2424

1 Timothy 4:4-6 KJV+ For3754 every3956 creature2938 of God2316 is good,2570 and2532 nothing3762 to be refused,579 if it be received2983 with3326 thanksgiving:2169 5 For1063 it is sanctified37 by1223 the word3056 of God2316 and2532 prayer.1783 6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance5294, 3588, 80 of these things,5023 thou shalt be2071 a good2570 minister1249 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547 nourished up1789 in the3588 words3056 of faith4102 and2532 of good2570 doctrine,1319 whereunto3739 thou hast attained.3877

1 Timothy 5:4 KJV+ But1161 if1487 any5100 widow5503 have2192 children5043 or2228 nephews,1549 let them learn3129 first4412 to show piety2151 at(2398) home,3624 and2532 to requite591, 287 their parents:4269 for1063 that5124 is2076 good2570 and2532 acceptable587 before1799 God.2316

1 Timothy 5:9-13 KJV+ Let not3361 a widow5503 be taken into the number2639 under1640 threescore1835 years2094 old, having been1096 the wife1135 of one1520 man,435 10 Well reported of3140 for1722 good2570 works;2041 if1487 she have brought up children,5044 if1487 she have lodged strangers,3580 if1487 she have washed3538 the saints'40 feet,4228 if1497 she have relieved1884 the afflicted,2346 if1487 she have diligently followed1872 every3956 good18 work.2041 11 But1161 the younger3501 widows5503 refuse:3868 for1063 when3752 they have begun to wax wanton against2691 Christ,5547 they will2309 marry;1060 12 Having2192 damnation,2917 because3754 they have cast off114 their first4413 faith.4102 13 And1161 withal260 they learn3129 to be idle,692 wandering about from house to house;4022, 3614 and1161 not3756 only3440 idle,692 but235 tattlers5397 also2532 and2532 busybodies,4021 speaking2980 things which they ought1163 not.3361

1 Timothy 5:24-25 KJV+ Some5100 men's444 sins266 are1526 open beforehand,4271 going before4254 to1519 judgment;2920 and1161 some5100 men they(2532) follow after.1872 25 Likewise5615 also2532 the3588 good2570 works2041 of some are2076 manifest beforehand;4271 and2532 they that are2192 otherwise247 cannot1410, 3756 be hid.2928

1 Timothy 6:12 KJV+ Fight75 the3588 good2570 fight73 of faith,4102 lay hold on1949 eternal166 life,2222 whereunto1519, 3739 thou art also2532 called,2564 and2532 hast professed3670 a good2570 profession3671 before1799 many4183 witnesses.3144

1 Timothy 6:13-14 KJV+ I give thee charge3853, 4671 in the sight1799 of God,2316 who quickeneth2227 all things,3956 and2532 before Christ5547 Jesus,2424 who before1909 Pontius4194 Pilate4091 witnessed3140 a good2570 confession;3671 14 That thou4571 keep5083 this commandment1785 without spot,784 unrebukable,423 until3360 the3588 appearing2015 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ:5547

1 Timothy 6:18-19 KJV+ That they do good,14 that they be rich4147 in1722 good2570 works,2041, (1511) ready to distribute,2130 willing to communicate;2843 19 Laying up in store597 for themselves1438 a good2570 foundation2310 against1519 the3588 time to come,3195 that2443 they may lay hold on1949 eternal166 life.2222

2 Timothy 2:3 KJV+ Thou4771 therefore3767 endure hardness,2553 as5613 a good2570 soldier4757 of Jesus2424 Christ.5547

2 Timothy 2:19-23 KJV+ Nevertheless3305 the foundation2310 of God2316 standeth2476 sure,4731 having2192 this5026 seal,4973 The Lord2962 knoweth1097 them that are5607 his.848 And,2532 Let every one3956 that nameth3687 the3588 name3686 of Christ5547 depart868 from575 iniquity.93 20 But1161 in1722 a great3173 house3614 there are2076 not3756 only3440 vessels4632 of gold5552 and2532 of silver,693 but235 also2532 of wood3585 and2532 of earth;3749 and2532 some3739, 3303 to1519 honor,5092 and1161 some3739 to1519 dishonor.819 21 If1437 a man5100 therefore3767 purge1571 himself1438 from575 these,5130 he shall be2071 a vessel4632 unto1519 honor,5092 sanctified,37 and2532 meet for the master's use,2173, 3588, 1203 and prepared2090 unto1519 every3956 good18 work.2041 22 Flee5343 also1161 youthful3512 lusts:1939 but1161 follow1377 righteousness,1343 faith,4102 charity,26 peace,1515 with3326 them that call on1941 the3588 Lord2962 out of1537 a pure2513 heart.2588 23 But1161 foolish3474 and2532 unlearned521 questions2214 avoid,3868 knowing1492 that3754 they do engender1080 strifes.3163

2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV+ All3956 Scripture1124 is given by inspiration of God,2315 and2532 is profitable5624 for4314 doctrine,1319 for4314 reproof,1650 for4314 correction,1882 for4314 instruction3809 in1722 righteousness:1343 17 That2443 the3588 man444 of God2316 may be5600 perfect,739 thoroughly furnished1822 unto4314 all3956 good18 works.2041

2 Timothy 4:6-8 KJV+ For1063 I1473 am now ready to be offered,4689, 2235 and2532 the3588 time2540 of my1699 departure359 is at hand.2186 7 I have fought75 a good2570 fight,73 I have finished5055 my course,1408 I have kept5083 the3588 faith:4102 8 Henceforth3063 there is laid up606 for me3427 a crown4735 of righteousness,1343 which3739 the3588 Lord,2962 the3588 righteous1342 judge,2923 shall give591 me3427 at1722 that1565 day:2250 and1161 not3756 to me1698 only,3440 but235 unto all3956 them also that love25, 2532 his846 appearing.2015

Titus 1:15-16 KJV+ Unto the3588 pure2513 all things3956 are(3303) pure:2513 but1161 unto them3588 that are defiled3392 and2532 unbelieving571 is nothing3762 pure;2513 but235 even2532 their846 mind3563 and2532 conscience4893 is defiled.3392 16 They profess3670 that they know1492 God;2316 but1161 in works2041 they deny720 him, being5607 abominable,947 and2532 disobedient,545 and2532 unto4314 every3956 good18 work2041 reprobate.96

Titus 2:3-8 KJV+ The aged women4247 likewise,5615 that they be in1722 behavior2688 as becometh holiness,2412 not3361 false accusers,1228 not3361 given1402 to much4183 wine,3631 teachers of good things;2567 4 That2443 they may teach the young women to be sober,4994, 3588, 3501 to(1511) love their husbands,5362 to love their children,5388 5 To be discreet,4998 chaste,53 keepers at home,3626 good,18 obedient5293 to their own2398 husbands,435 that2443 the3588 word3056 of God2316 be not3361 blasphemed.987 6 Young men3501 likewise5615 exhort3870 to be sober minded.4993 7 In4012 all things3956 showing3930 thyself4572 a pattern5179 of good2570 works:2041 in1722 doctrine1319 showing uncorruptness,90 gravity,4587 sincerity,861 8 Sound5199 speech,3056 that cannot be condemned;176 that2443 he3588 that is of1537 the contrary part1727 may be ashamed,1788 having2192 no3367 evil thing5337 to say3004 of4012 you.5216

Titus 2:13-15 KJV+ Looking for4327 that blessed3107 hope,1680 and2532 the3588 glorious1391 appearing2015 of the3588 great3173 God2316 and2532 our2257 Savior4990 Jesus2424 Christ;5547 14 Who3739 gave1325 himself1438 for5228 us,2257 that2443 he might redeem3084 us2248 from575 all3956 iniquity,458 and2532 purify2511 unto himself1438 a peculiar4041 people,2992 zealous2207 of good2570 works.2041 15 These things5023 speak,2980 and2532 exhort,3870 and2532 rebuke1651 with3326 all3956 authority.2003 Let no man3367 despise4065 thee.4675

Titus 3:1-3 KJV+ Put them in mind5279, 846 to be subject5293 to principalities746 and2532 powers,1849 to obey magistrates,3980 to be1511 ready2092 to4314 every3956 good18 work,2041 2 To speak evil987 of no man,3367 to be1511 no brawlers,269 but gentle,1933 showing1731 all3956 meekness4236 unto4314 all3956 men.444 3 For1063 we2249 ourselves also2532 were2258 sometimes4218 foolish,453 disobedient,545 deceived,4105 serving1398 divers4164 lusts1939 and2532 pleasures,2237 living1236 in1722 malice2549 and2532 envy,5355 hateful,4767 and hating3404 one another.240

Titus 3:8 KJV+ This is a faithful4103 saying,3056 and2532 these things(5130) I will1014 that thou4571 affirm constantly,1226 that2443 they which have believed4100 in God2316 might be careful5431 to maintain4291 good2570 works.2041 These things5023 are2076 good2570 and2532 profitable5624 unto men.444

Titus 3:14-15 KJV+ And1161 let ours2251 also2532 learn3129 to maintain4291 good2570 works2041 for1519 necessary316 uses,5532 that2443 they be5600 not3361 unfruitful.175 15 All3956 that3588 are with3326 me1700 salute782 thee.4571 Greet782 them that love5368 us2248 in1722 the faith.4102 Grace5485 be with3326 you5216 all.3956 Amen.281

Hebrews 5:13-14 KJV+ For1063 every one3956 that useth3348 milk1051 is unskillfull552 in the word3056 of righteousness:1343 for1063 he is2076 a babe.3516 14 But1161 strong meat4731, 5160 belongeth2076 to them that are of full age,5046 even those who by reason of1223 use1838 have2192 their senses145 exercised1128 to4314 discern1253 both5037 good2570 and2532 evil.2556

Hebrews 6:4-6 KJV+ For1063 it is impossible102 for those who were once enlightened,5461, 5030 and5037 have tasted1089 of the3588 heavenly2032 gift,1431 and2532 were made1096 partakers3353 of the Holy40 Ghost,4151 5 And2532 have tasted1089 the good2570 word4487 of God,2316 and5037 the powers1411 of the world165 to come,3195 6 If they(2532) shall fall away,3895 to renew340 them again3825 unto1519 repentance;3341 seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh,388, 1438, 3588, 5207, 2316 and2532 put him to an open shame.3856

Hebrews 9:11 KJV+ But1161 Christ5547 being come3854 a high priest749 of good things18 to come,3195 by1223 a greater3187 and2532 more perfect5046 tabernacle,4633 not3756 made with hands,5499 that is to say,5123 not3756 of this5026 building;2937

Hebrews 10:1 KJV+ For1063 the3588 law3551 having2192 a shadow4639 of good things18 to come,3195 and not3756 the3588 very846 image1504 of the3588 things,4229 can1410 never3762 with those846 sacrifices2378 which3739 they offered4374 year by year2596, 1763 continually1519, 1336 make the comers thereunto perfect.5048, 3588, 4334

Hebrews 10:24-27 KJV+ And2532 let us consider2657 one another240 to provoke unto1519, 3948 love26 and2532 to good2570 works:2041 25 Not3361 forsaking1459 the3588 assembling of ourselves together,1997, 1438 as2531 the manner1485 of some5100 is; but235 exhorting3870 one another: and2532 so much5118 the more,3123 as3745 ye see991 the3588 day2250 approaching.1448 26 For1063 if we2257 sin264 willfully1596 after that we have received2983 the3588 knowledge1922 of the3588 truth,225 there remaineth620 no more3765 sacrifice2378 for4012 sins,266 27 But1161 a certain5100 fearful5398 looking for1561 of judgment2920 and2532 fiery4442 indignation,2205 which shall3195 devour2068 the3588 adversaries.5227

Hebrews 13:9 KJV+ Be not3361 carried about4064 with divers4164 and2532 strange3581 doctrines.1322 For1063 it is a good thing2570 that the3588 heart2588 be established950 with grace;5485 not3756 with meats,1033 which3739 have not3756 profited5623 them that have been occupied therein.4043

Hebrews 13:18 KJV+ Pray4336 for4012 us:2257 for1063 we trust3982 we(3754) have2192 a good2570 conscience,4893 in1722 all things3956 willing2309 to live honestly.390, 2573

Hebrews 13:21 KJV+ Make you perfect2675, 5209 in1722 every3956 good18 work2041 to do4160 his848 will,2307 working4160 in1722 you5213 that which is wellpleasing2101 in his sight,1799, 848 through1223 Jesus2424 Christ;5547 to whom3739 be glory1391 forever and ever.1519, 165, 165 Amen.281

James 1:17 KJV+ Every3956 good18 gift1394 and2532 every3956 perfect5046 gift1434 is2076 from above,509 and cometh down2597 from575 the3588 Father3962 of lights,5457 with3844 whom3739 is1762 no3756 variableness,3883 neither2228 shadow644 of turning.5157

James 2:7 KJV+ Do not3756 they846 blaspheme987 that worthy2570 name3686 by the which3588, (1909) ye5209 are called?1941

James 3:13 KJV+ Who5101 is a wise man4680 and2532 endued with knowledge1990 among1722 you?5213 let him show1166 out of1537 a good2570 conversation391 his848 works2041 with1722 meekness4240 of wisdom.4678

James 3:17 KJV+ But1161 the3588 wisdom4678 that is from above509 is2076 first4412, 3303 pure,53 then1899 peaceable,1516 gentle,1933 and easy to be entreated,2138 full3324 of mercy1656 and2532 good18 fruits,2590 without partiality,87 and2532 without hypocrisy.505

James 4:17 KJV+ Therefore3767 to him that knoweth1492 to do4160 good,2570 and2532 doeth4160 it not,3361 to him846 it is2076 sin.266
