31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God.
6 Go to the ant, you 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 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 upon you like a vagabond, and your want like an armed man.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be put to forced labor.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be put to forced labor.
23 And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
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.
14 Let all your things be done with love.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto 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 unto my Father.
17 And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.
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 who 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.
23 In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.
14 Do all things without murmuring and disputing:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world;
4 He becomes poor who has a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
3 Commit your works unto the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.
3 Commit your works unto the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.
15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
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:
13 Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
22 The blessing of the LORD, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he has neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither says he, For whom do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a heavy travail.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labor shall increase.
10 Whatsoever 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.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to accept his lot, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
23 And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you 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.
18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and fitting 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 this is his lot.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have worked for, but that we receive a full reward.
11 And that you study to be quiet, and to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That you may walk honestly toward them that are outside, and that you may have lack of nothing.
4 Again, I considered all toil, and every skillful work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This is also vanity and grasping after the wind.
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto 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 whatsoever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish you the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish it.
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.
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.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?
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?
