Work Ethic

Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men,

Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be achieved.

There is profit in all labor, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”

Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, for in Sheol, where you are going, there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.

Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.

In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies lacks judgment.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

The slacker craves yet has nothing, but the soul of the diligent is fully satisfied.
