Work, deed, act. Ergon. We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works. Good works are not the root of salvation. They are the fruit of it.

Make, do, produce. Poiéō. Faith without works is dead. What you believe will always show itself in what you make and do. Let your actions confirm your confession.

To have, to hold, to possess. I have learned in whatever state I am to be content. Contentment is not about having more but appreciating what you have.

Now, the present moment. Nyn. God's work is not confined to history or prophecy alone; it breaks into the immediate now. Receive and respond to what He is doing today.

To see, to behold, to observe carefully. We will see Him as He is. To see God face to face is the destiny of every believer.

To hate, to detest, to dislike strongly. Hate what is evil and cling to what is good. Not everything deserves equal treatment. Some things must be rejected.

I, me, myself. Egō. Jesus claimed it absolutely: "I AM." Every human "I" exists only because the great I AM first spoke. Your identity is derivative, not ultimate.

When Jesus teaches His disciples to pray, He begins with the most radical word imaginable — Father. In the ancient world, approaching God as Father was almost unthinkable. Jesus opens the door and says: this is how you come. Not as a subject before a king. As a child before a Father who already knows what you need.

No, not, never. Mé. The softest Greek negative, used to deny what is possible or expected. When God says no, he means it.
