"to do good" (agathos, "good," poieo, "to do"), is used (a) of such activity in general, 1 Peter 2:15 , "well-doing;" 1 Peter 2:20 , "do well;" 1 Peter 3:6,17; 3 John 1:11 , "doeth good;" (b) of "acting for another's benefit," Mark 3:4; Luke 6:9,33,35 .
"to do well, excellently, act honorably" (kalos, "good," poieo, "to do"), occurs in 2 Thessalonians 3:13 . The two parts of the word occur separately in Romans 7:21; 2 Corinthians 13:7; Galatians 6:9; James 4:17 .
Notes: (1) The distinction between Nos. 1 and 2 follows that between agathos and kalos (see GOOD). (2) In John 11:12 , AV, sozo (Passive Voice, "to be saved"), is rendered "he shall do well" (RV, "he will recover")."well-doing" (akin to A, No. 1), occurs in 1 Peter 4:19 .
"doing good, beneficent," is translated "them that do well" in 1 Peter 2:14 , lit., "well-doing (ones)."
