John 6:28 AMPC
They then said, What are we to do, that we may [habitually] be working the works of God? [What are we to do to carry out what God requires?]
If this normal toil of self-sustaining and trying to please God is not our work, what on earth IS the work of God?

WHAT is “the work God requires?”
