31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
23 In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips tends only to penury.
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Provides her meat in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
9 How long will you sleep, O sluggard? when will you arise out of your sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall your poverty come as one that travels, and your want as an armed man.
12 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the middle of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world;
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.
4 He becomes poor that deals with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works.
18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he takes under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him: for it is his portion.
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.
13 Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have worked, but that we receive a full reward.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
3 Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.
3 Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.
15 Study to show yourself approved to God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

22 The blessing of the LORD, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yes, he has neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither said he, For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yes, it is a sore travail.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labor shall increase.
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where you go.
11 And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that you may have lack of nothing.
4 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 Knowing that whatever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needs.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be on us: and establish you the work of our hands on us; yes, the work of our hands establish you it.
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?
9 There remains therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
