10 While we were with you, we gave this order: "If anyone doesn't want to work, he shouldn't eat."
11 We hear that some of you are living in idleness. You are not busy working—you are busy interfering in other people's lives!
12 We order and encourage such people by the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything to the glory of God.
23 Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people.
17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
14 Everything you do should be done in love.
11 Also, make it your goal to live quietly, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you,
12 so that you may win the respect of outsiders, and have need of nothing.
14 Do everything without complaining or arguing
15 so that you may be blameless and innocent, God's children without any faults among a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as an approved worker who has nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of truth with precision.
8 Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may be complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
8 See to it that you don't destroy what we have worked for, but that you receive your full reward.
26 Look at the birds in the sky. They don't plant or harvest or gather food into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are more valuable than they are, aren't you?
24 But I don't place any value on my life, if only I can finish my race and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
58 Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, unmovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that your work isn't wasted in the Lord.
13 Who will harm you if you are devoted to doing what is good?
23 Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people.
24 You know that it is from the Lord that you will receive the inheritance as a reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you are serving!
7 Serve willingly, as if you were serving the Lord and not merely people.
8 For you know that everyone will receive a reward from the Lord for whatever good he has done, whether he is a slave or free.
9 There remains, therefore, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
10 For the one who enters God's rest has himself rested from his own works, just as God did from his.
12 "Truly, truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater works than these because I am going to the Father.
28 The thief must no longer steal but must work hard and do what is good with his own hands, so that he might have something to give to the needy.
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as an approved worker who has nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of truth with precision.
