31 Therefore whether ye eat, or drink, or anything ye do, do all to the glory of God.
10 For even when we were with you we commanded you this, that if any man will not work, neither let him eat.
11 For we hear of some who walk among you disorderly, not working at all, but being busybodies.
12 Now to such men we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that, working with quietness, they should eat their own bread.
9 He also that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.
12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, that man will also do. And he will do greater than these, because I go to the Father.
12 I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor. [It] is the gift of God.
22 The blessing of LORD, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
8 And God is able to abound all grace for you, so that always in everything having all sufficiency, ye may abound for every good work,
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor--this is the gift of God.
23 And all things, anything whatever ye may do, work from soul as to the Lord and not to men,
23 In all labor there is profit, but the talk of the lips [tends] only to poverty.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule, but the slothful shall be put under task work.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule, but the slothful shall be put under task work.
14 Do all things without grumblings and arguments,
15 so that ye may become blameless and pure children of God, blameless in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.
15 Be diligent to present thyself approved to God, an irreproachable workman, correctly traversing the word of truth.

9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.
23 And all things, anything whatever ye may do, work from soul as to the Lord and not to men,
24 knowing that from Lord ye will receive the reward of the inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ.
26 Look to the birds of the sky, because they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not more valuable then they?
24 But I make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify the good-news of the grace of God.
18 Behold, that which I have seen to be good and to be fitting is [for a man] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor in which he labors under the sun all the days of his life which God has given him, for this is his p
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, become ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not empty in Lord.
11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to do your own things, and to work with your own hands, just as we commanded you,
12 so that ye may walk properly toward those outside, and may have nothing lacking.
8 There is one man who is alone, and he has not a second, yea, he has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end of all his labor, nor are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, [he says], do I labor, and deprive my soul of
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise.
7 Which, having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
8 provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
9 How long will thou sleep, O sluggard? When will thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,
11 so thy poverty shall come as a robber, and thy want as an armed man.
10 Whatever thy hand finds to do, do with thy might, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where thou go.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished, but he who gathers by labor shall have increase.
14 Let all things of you be done in love.
17 And let the favor of LORD our God be upon us. And establish thou the work of our hands upon us, yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
8 Watch yourselves, so that we may not lose what we have wrought, but may receive a full reward.
28 Let the man who steals steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the good, so that he may have to give to him who has need.
4 Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
7 bond-serving with goodwill, as to the Lord and not to men.
8 Knowing that whatever good thing each may do, he will receive this from the Lord, whether bondman or freeman.
17 And all things, anything whatever ye may do in word or in deed, do all in the name of Lord Jesus, expressing thanks to the God and Father through him.
9 There remains therefore a Sabbath for the people of God.
10 For a man who has entered into his rest, he has also rested from his works, as God did from his own.
4 He who works with a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
3 Commit thy works to LORD, and thy purposes shall be established.
3 Commit thy works to LORD, and thy purposes shall be established.
13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty. Open thine eyes, [and] thou shall be satisfied with bread.
16 Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for instruction, for reproof, for correction, for discipline in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may be qualified, having been completed for every good work.
13 And who is he who will harm you, if ye become imitators of the good?
