10 For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.
11 For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.
12 Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.
31 So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
6 Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise:
7 Having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
8 She gets her meat in the summer, storing up food at the time of the grain-cutting.
9 How long will you be sleeping, O hater of work? when will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:
11 Then loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man
17 And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.
14 Let all you do be done in love.
4 He who is slow in his work becomes poor, but the hand of the ready worker gets in wealth.
3 Put your works into the hands of the Lord, and your purposes will be made certain.
3 Put your works into the hands of the Lord, and your purposes will be made certain.
13 Do not be a lover of sleep, or you will become poor: keep your eyes open, and you will have bread enough.
16 Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:
17 So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work.
8 Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.
4 And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.
7 Doing your work readily, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 In the knowledge that for every good thing anyone does, he will have his reward from the Lord, If he is a servant or if he is free.
23 Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;
9 He who does not give his mind to his work is brother to him who makes destruction.
23 In all hard work there is profit, but talk only makes a man poor.
12 Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.
24 The hand of the ready worker will have authority, but he who is slow in his work will be put to forced work.
24 The hand of the ready worker will have authority, but he who is slow in his work will be put to forced work.
12 I am certain that there is nothing better for a man than to be glad, and to do good while life is in him.
13 And for every man to take food and drink, and have joy in all his work, is a reward from God.
14 Do all things without protests and arguments;
15 So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
22 The blessing of the Lord gives wealth: hard work makes it no greater.
15 Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.
15 Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.
8 And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:
9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their work.
19 \5:20\He will not give much thought to the days of his life; because God lets him be taken up with the joy of his heart.
23 Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;
24 Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.
18 \5:19\Every man to whom God has given money and wealth and the power to have pleasure in it and to do his part and have joy in his work: this is given by God.
8 It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.
11 And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders;
12 That you may be respected by those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
11 Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.
24 But I put no value on my life, if only at the end of it I may see the work complete which was given to me by the Lord Jesus, to be a witness of the good news of the grace of God.
10 Whatever comes to your hand to do with all your power, do it because there is no work, or thought, or knowledge, or wisdom in the place of the dead to which you are going.
58 For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.
13 Who will do you any damage if you keep your minds fixed on what is good?
9 So that there is still a Sabbath-keeping for the people of God.
10 For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his.
28 Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.
17 Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.
26 See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?
