23 And whatever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men,
31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink or whatever ye do, do everything for the glory of God.
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise,
7 Who having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 provides her food in the summer [and] gathers her food in the harvest.
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travels and thy want as an armed man.
10 For even when we were with you, this we declared unto you, that if anyone desires not to work neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you out of order, not working at all, but are busybodies.
12 Now those that are such, we charge and exhort in our Lord Jesus Christ, that working with quietness, they eat their bread.
17 And whatever ye do whether in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to the God and Father by him.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
4 He that deals [with] a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the negligent shall be under tribute.
3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
19 Likewise, unto every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, he has also given him power to eat thereof and to take his portion and to rejoice in his labour; this [is] the gift of God.
18 Behold therefore the good which I have seen: that good is to eat and to drink and to enjoy of the good of all his labour that he takes under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him; for it [is] his portion.
23 In all labour there is fruit, but to talk and not do, brings poverty.
9 He also that is negligent in his work is brother to him that is the great spendthrift.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do because I go unto my Father.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the negligent shall be under tribute.
12 I have learned that [there is] nothing better for them, but 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 labour; it [is] the gift of God.
14 Do all things without murmurings and doubts,
15 that ye may be blameless and innocent, children of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world,
22 The blessing of the LORD is that which makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that has nothing to be ashamed of, rightly dividing the word of truth.
3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
9 Two [are] better than one because they have a better reward for their labour.
13 Do not love sleep lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, [and] thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
23 And whatever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men,
24 knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ.
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 unto all good works.:
8 Look to yourselves, that we not lose those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a fulfilled reward.
4 Again, I considered all travail and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.
7 with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,
8 knowing that whatever good thing anyone does, the same shall they receive of the Lord, whether [they are] bond or free.
8 It is the [man] who is alone, without a successor, who has neither son nor brother; yet [is there] no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labour and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity and sore travail.
28 Let him that stole steal no more, but rather let him labour, working with [his] hands that which is good, that he may have to give to him that is in need.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.:
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 ye not much better than they?
9 There remains therefore a rest for 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.
10 Whatever thy hand finds to do, do [it] with [all] thy might, for [there is] no work nor device nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, where thou goest.
11 The riches of vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labour shall increase.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and set thou aright the work of our hands upon us; yea, set thou aright the work of our hands.:
8 And God is able to make all grace abound in you that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work:
11 and that ye procure to be quiet and to do your business and to work with your hands, as we commanded you,
12 that ye may walk honestly toward those that are without, and [that] ye may desire nothing from any one.
24 But none of these things move me, neither do I count my life dear unto myself, only 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.
13 And who [is] he that can harm you, if ye are followers of that which is good?
15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that has nothing to be ashamed of, rightly dividing the word of truth.
