14 agathoergéō (from 18/agathós, "intrinsically good" and 2041/érgon, "work") – properly, doing something
intrinsically good, like the believer doing what is both birthed and empowered by the Lord (used only in 1 Tim
6:18).
14/agathoergeō ("work what is inherently good") focuses on God's work – the one who begins and empowers all
"good works," while also requiring 100% of the believer's participation.
The "good (divine) working" (14/agathoergéō) shows itself in "good works" which works with the near-synonym,
2570/kalós ("attractive, winsomely good"). Both aspects of "good" then are included (intrinsic and extrinsic good),
as both here result from "the (operating principle of) faith" (4102/pístis, "the Lord's inwrought persuasion," cf. 1
Tim 6:21).
