10 For indeed when I was with you, I used to charge you, "If any man will not work, he shall not eat."
11 But I hear that there are those of your number who are leading idle and disorderly lives, who are not busy, but mere busybodies.
12 Now all such I command and entreat, by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, to work in quietness. and to earn their own living.
31 Because whether you are eating or whether you are drinking, you are to do it all for the glory of God.
12 "I tell you solemnly that he who trusts in me shall himself do the works that I am doing; and still greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.
17 And whatever you do, whether in word of in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God our Father through him.
8 And God is able to give you an overflowing measure of every grace, so that all your wants of every kind may be supplied at all times, and you may give of your abundance to every good work;
14 Do everything without grumbling and disputes,
15 that you may become blameless and innocent, the sons of God, without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like stars in a dark world,
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.
24 You know that from the Lord you will receive reward of the inheritance, for you are the Lord Christs slaves.
15 Strive earnestly to present yourself unto God, tested and proved worthy by trial, a workman unashamed, ever cutting a straight path for the message of the truth.

16 Every Scripture, seeing that it is God-breathed, is also profitable for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may himself be complete, and completely equipped for every good work.
11 Also, that you endeavor to live quietly and to mind your own business, and to work with your hands (as I charged you).
12 So that your conduct may be seemly toward those that are without, and that you may not need help from any man.
24 But I hold not my life of any account, as dear unto myself, if only I may run my race, and accomplish the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to attest the gospel of the grace of God.
58 So, my brothers beloved, stand firm, immovable, always abounding in work for the Lord, because you know that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.
26 "Behold! the birds in the sky! They neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them; and are not you worth more than they?
28 Let him who stole steal no more, but let him work, and in honest industry toil with his hands, so that he may have something to give to the needy.
8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.
9 So there remains a Sabbath Rest for the people of God.
10 For whoever has entered into his rest has rested from his works, just as God did from his.
7 slaving with good-will from your heart, as for the Lord and not for men;
8 because you know that whatever good any man does, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be slave or free man.
13 Yet who will harm you if you become zealous for the good?
