Bible

Effectual, powerful: energes

1 Corinthians 16:9 (KJV) For a great door and effectual is

opened unto me, and <there are> many adversaries.

Philemon 1:6 (KJV) That the communication of thy faith may

become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing

which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) For the word of God <is> quick, and

powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even

to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints

and marrow, and <is> a discerner of the thoughts and intents

of the heart.

Operations, working: energema

1 Corinthians 12:6 (KJV) And there are diversities of

operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

To show forth, work: energew

Matthew 14:2 (KJV) And said unto his servants, This is John

the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty

works do show forth themselves in him.

Mark 6:14 (KJV) And king Herod heard <of him>; (for his

name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist

was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show

forth themselves in him.

Romans 7:5 (KJV) For when we were in the flesh, the motions

of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to

bring forth fruit unto death.

1 Corinthians 12:6 (KJV) And there are diversities of

operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

1 Corinthians 12:11 (KJV) But all these worketh that one

and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as

he will.

2 Corinthians 1:6 (KJV) And whether we be afflicted, <it

is> for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in

the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or

whether we be comforted, <it is> for your consolation and

salvation.

2 Corinthians 4:12 (KJV) So then death worketh in us, but

life in you.

Galatians 2:8 (KJV) (For he that wrought effectually in

Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was

mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

Galatians 3:5 (KJV) He therefore that ministereth to you

the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, <doeth he it> by

the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Galatians 5:6 (KJV) For in Jesus Christ neither

circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but

faith which worketh by love.

Ephesians 1:11 (KJV) In whom also we have obtained an

inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of

him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Ephesians 1:20 (KJV) Which he wrought in Christ, when he

raised him from the dead, and set <him> at his own right hand

in the heavenly <places>,

Ephesians 2:2 (KJV) Wherein in time past ye walked

according to the course of this world, according to the

prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh

in the children of disobedience:

Ephesians 3:20‑21 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to do

exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,

according to the power that worketh in us, {21} Unto him <be>

glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages,

world without end. Amen.

Philippians 2:13 (KJV) For it is God which worketh in you

both to will and to do of <his> good pleasure.

Colossians 1:29 (KJV) Whereunto I also labour, striving

according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 (KJV) For this cause also thank we God

without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God

which ye heard of us, ye received <it> not <as> the word of

men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which

effectually worketh also in you that believe.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 (KJV) For the mystery of iniquity doth

already work: only he who now letteth <will let>, until he be

taken out of the way.

James 5:16 (KJV) Confess <your> faults one to another, and

pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual

fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Effectual, working: energeia

Ephesians 1:19 (KJV) And what <is> the exceeding greatness

of his power to us‑ward who believe, according to the working

of his mighty power,

Ephesians 3:7 (KJV) Whereof I was made a minister,

according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by

the effectual working of his power.

Ephesians 4:16 (KJV) From whom the whole body fitly joined

together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth,

according to the effectual working in the measure of every

part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself

in love.

Philippians 3:21 (KJV) Who shall change our vile body, that

it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to

the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto

himself.

Colossians 1:29 (KJV) Whereunto I also labour, striving

according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Colossians 2:12 (KJV) Buried with him in baptism, wherein

also ye are risen with <him> through the faith of the

operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

2 Thessalonians 2:9‑12 (KJV) <Even him>, whose coming is

after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying

wonders, {10} And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness

in them that perish; because they received not the love of

the truth, that they might be saved. {11} And for this cause

God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe

a lie: {12} That they all might be damned who believed not

the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [Note 2

Thessalonians 2:7, the mystery of iniquity already at work.]

Anglican

"First, our Lord does encourage us or even command us to believe that wherever there is the good character, the Christ‑like character, there the Holy Spirit is at work. God works far beyond How own appointed channels. The principle of loyalty and obedience binds us who know His will to use His sacraments, His instituted ordinances; but God is not tied to His own ordinances. He can work wherever He sees the good disposition; and it is blasphemy against His Spirit to deny that He is at work anywhere where we we witness the forming of the Christian character. The good fruit cannot come from anything else than the good tree."

Bishop Charles Gore, The Sermon on the Mount, A Practical Exposition, London: John Murray 1906, p. 179f.

Luther

"The world is now full of sects which exclaim that Baptism is merely an external matter and that external matters are of no use. However, let it be ever so much an external matter; here stand God's Word and command which institute, establish, and confirm Baptism. However, whatever God institutes and commands cannot be useless but must be an altogether precious matter, even if it were worth less than a straw."

Martin Luther, What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, I, p. 43. Large Catechism Matthew 28:19.

"We should be on our guard against the Anabaptists and sectarian spirits, who speak contemptuously of Baptism and say that it is nothing but ordinary water, which helps no one. They look at the sacred act as a cow looks at a new door; for they see a poor preacher standing there or some woman who baptizes in an emergency, are offended at the sight, and say: Indeed! What might Baptism be? Moreover, they state: Whoever does not believe is really not baptized. In this way they dishonor and blaspheme the most worthy Sacrament, not seeing any farther than a horse or a cow sees...." Martin Luther, What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, I, p. 45. John 1:30‑32.

"But here it is written that when Christ was baptized, all three Persons of the Trinity were present‑‑God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit...and that the heavens stood open, too. In fact, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit daily stand about and at the side of our own Baptism....For this reason we should highly esteem and honor Baptism and say: Baptism was not devised by any human being, but God instituted it; and it is not simple water, but God's Word is in it and with it, which makes of its water a washing of the soul and a washing of regeneration."

Martin Luther, What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, I, p. 45. John 1:30‑32.

"One must not make the sweeping assertion: God is not worshiped by anything external. Therefore we should not ridicule all things that are external in the worship of God. For when God speaks about a splinter, His Word makes the splinter as important as the sun. It is, therefore, profane language to say that the water of Baptism is only water; for the water of Baptism has the Word added to it. Therefore it is like a glowing or fiery iron, which is as truly fire as it is iron and does all that fire usually does. But only the pious see and appreciate the Word in the water; a cow or a dog sees only water."

Martin Luther, What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, I, p. 45. Psalm 122:3.

"Whoever is baptized in Christ is baptized through His suffering and blood or, to state it more clearly, through Baptism he is bathed in the blood of Christ and is cleansed from sins. For this reason St. Paul calls Baptism a "washing of regeneration" (Titus 3:5); and according to what Christians say and picture, the Sacraments flow from the wounds of Christ. And what they say and picture is right." [Plass footnote: "Thus Jerome (d. 420) sees the Sacrament symbolized by the blood and water that flowed from the side of the dead Christ (John 19:34). Similarly St. Augustine (d. 430). In Luther's days pictures and woodcuts presented the same view. See W 30, II, 527, note; SL 13a, 491f.]

Martin Luther, What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, I, p. 46. to Duke George, 1533 John 19:34; Titus 3:5.

[endangered infant not baptized in womb] "But the women who are present at the birth should kneel down and with a prayer of faith commit the endangered infant to God who is mighty and able to do more than we ask. Without a doubt He will accept the infant for the sake of the prayer of the believers."

Martin Luther, What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, I, p. 49. J. Aurifaber, undated

"I still maintain, as I have maintained in the Postil (SL 11, 496f.) that the surest Baptism is infant Baptism. For an old person may deceive, may come to Christ as a Judas and permit himself to be baptized. But a child cannot deceive. It comes to Christ in Baptism as John came to Him and as the little children were brought to Him, that His Word and work may come over them, touch them, and thus make them holy. For His Word and work cannot pass by without effect; and in Baptism they are directed at the child alone. If they were to fail of success here, they would have to be entire failures and useless means, which is impossible." Martin Luther, What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, I, p. 50. Letter to two ministers, 1528

"To be sure, Baptism is so great that if you turn from sins and appeal to the covenant of Baptism, your sins are forgiven. Only see to it‑‑if you sin in this wicked and wanton manner by presuming on God's grace‑‑that the judgment does not lay hold of you and forestall your turning back. And even if you then wanted to believe and trust in your Baptism, your trial might by God's decree, be so great that faith could not stand the strain. If they scarcely remain in the faith who do no sin or who fall because of sheer weakness, where will your brazen wickedness remain, which has challenged and mocked God's grace? Let us, therefore, walk with care and fear that we may hold fast the riches of God's grace with a firm faith and joyfully give thanks to His mercy forever and ever. Amen."

Martin Luther, What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, I, p. 57. Treatise on Baptism, 1519 [advocates infant immersion or something similar] Martin Luther, What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, I, p. 58.

"Thus we see what a very splendid thing Baptism is. It snatches us from the jaws of the devil, makes us God's own, restrains and removes sin, and then daily strengthens the new man within us. It is and remains ever efficacious until we pass from this state of misery to eternal glory. For this reason everyone should consider his Baptism as his daily dress, to be worn constantly. Every day he should be found in the faith and its fruits, suppressing the old man, and growing up in the new; for if we want to be Christians, we must practice the work whereby we are Christians. But if anyone falls from baptismal grace, let him return to it. For as Christ, the Mercy Seat, does not withdraw from us or forbid us to come to Him again even though we sin, so all His treasures and gifts also remain with us."

Martin Luther, What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, I, p. 61. Article on baptism, 1529

"There is on earth no greater comfort than Baptism."
