Verb kopiaō (to toil, to be tired) in the Gospels-Acts

(Translation from NRSV with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)


Matthew

6: 28And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil (kopiaō) nor spin,
11: 28"Come to me, all you that are toiling (kopiaō) and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

Luke

5: 5Simon answered, "Master, we have toiled (kopiaō) all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets."
12: 27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil (kopiaō) nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

John

4: 6Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, having been tired (kopiaō) out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon.
4: 38I sent you to reap that for which you did not toil (kopiaō). Others have toiled (kopiaō), and you have entered into their trouble."

Acts

20: 35In all this I have given you an example that it is by toiling (kopiaō) in this way we must support the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, for he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
