23 And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
31 Whether therefore all of you eat, or drink, or whatsoever all of you do, do all to the glory of God.
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 which 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.
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which 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 as one that travels, and your lack as an armed man.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great destroyer.
23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tends only to destitution.
17 And whatsoever all of you do in (o. logos) word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
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.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
14 Let all your things be done with love. (o. agape)
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 labour, it is the gift of God.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That all of you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom all of you shine as lights in the world;
4 He becomes poor that deals with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
22 The blessing of the LORD, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word (o. logos) of truth.

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.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that all of you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
13 Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open yours eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
23 And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord all of you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for all of 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 comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy 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.
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 labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither says he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
11 And that all of you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That all of you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that all of you may have lack of nothing.
11 Wealth got by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labour shall increase.
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.
24 But none of these things (o. logos) 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.
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.
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 all of you steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as all of you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if all of you be followers of that which is good?
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.
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 all of you not much better than they?
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needs.
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 you it.
