¹⁰ And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why do ye give trouble to the woman? for a good work she wrought for me;

¹⁴ and let them learn -- ours also -- to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

⁸ Stedfast `is' the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works -- who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men,

¹⁰ in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;

²¹ if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master -- to every good work having been prepared,

¹⁶ God they profess to know, and in the works they deny `Him', being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

¹ Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rule, unto every good work to be ready,

²¹ make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom `is' the glory -- to the ages of the ages! Amen.

¹² having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.

¹ Stedfast `is' the word: If any one the oversight doth long for, a right work he desireth;

¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.

¹⁰ to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God,

⁷ For God do ye speak perverseness? And for Him do ye speak deceit?

⁶ And Jesus said, `Let her alone; why are ye giving her trouble? a good work she wrought on me;

⁴⁴ And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, `Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;

⁴⁵ a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what `time' I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;

⁴⁶ with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;

⁴⁷ therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'

⁴⁸ And he said to her, `Thy sins have been forgiven;'

⁴⁹ and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, `Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'

⁵⁰ and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'

⁸ and God `is' able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work,

⁷ that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

¹² O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!

¹⁷ Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear.

¹⁰ for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

¹⁸ And I declare to them the hand of my God that is good upon me, and also the words of the king that he said to me, and they say, `Let us rise, and we have built;' and they strengthen their hands for good.
