It emphasizes the active expression of goodness through actions that benefit others. This term is often associated with the Christian call to live out one's faith through tangible acts of kindness and charity, reflecting the character of God in everyday life.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of doing good was often linked to civic duty and the welfare of the community. However, in the Christian context, doing good transcends societal expectations and is rooted in the love and grace of God. Early Christians were encouraged to demonstrate their faith through acts of kindness and service, which served as a testimony to the transformative power of the Gospel.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>14</b> <i>agathoergéō</i> (from <a href="/greek/18.htm">18</a> <i>/agathós</i>, "intrinsically good" and <a href="/greek/2041.htm">2041</a> <i>/érgon</i>, "work") – properly, to do a good work (that is <i>intrinsically</i> good); for the believer, doing what is birthed and empowered by the Lord (used only in 1 Tim 6:18).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/18.htm">agathos</a> and <a href="/greek/2041.htm">ergon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to do good<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>do good (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 14: ἀγαθοεργέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀγαθοεργέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ῶ</span>; (from the unused <span class="greek2">ΑΡΓΩ</span> — equivalent to <span class="greek2">ἔρδω</span>, <span class="greek2">ἐργάζομαι</span> — and <span class="greek2">ἀγαθόν</span>); <span class="accented">to be</span> <span class="greek2">ἀγαθοεργός</span>, <span class="accented">beneficent</span> (toward the poor, the needy): <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/6-18.htm">1 Timothy 6:18</a> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
