23 And whatever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
12 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father.
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Provideth her provisions in the summer, and gathereth 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 traveleth, and thy want as an armed man.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
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 busy-bodies.
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 tendeth only to penury.
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.
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 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
17 And whatever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
15 Study to show thyself approved to God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
15 Study to show thyself approved to God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
23 And whatever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
24 Knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yes, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yes, it is a grievous labor.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labor shall increase.
10 Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yes, the work of our hands establish thou it.
3 Commit thy works to the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
3 Commit thy works to the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thy eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
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 to all good works.
18 \5:19\Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That ye may walk honestly towards them that are without, and that ye may have need of nothing.
4 Again, I considered all labor, and every right work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. 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 any man doeth, the same will he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye are followers of that which is good?
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.)
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 needeth.
19 \5:20\For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor 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 feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
8 And God is able to make all grace abound towards you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
