10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: »If anyone will not work, he shall not eat.«
11 For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, not doing any work at all, but acting like busybodies.
12 Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and earn their own bread to eat.
31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
23 Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father.
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
14 Do all things without grumbling or arguing,
15 so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, so that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may have an abundance for every good work.
16 All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness;
17 so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may receive a full reward.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
7 Render service with good will, as to the Lord, and not to men,
8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but rather must labor, doing useful work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with those in need.
13 Who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?
11 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you,
12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anyone.
9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God;
10 for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his.
24 But I do not consider my life of any account nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
23 Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
24 knowing that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
