Working Hard

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

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

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.

The hand of the diligent will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.

Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.

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

If the axe is dull and the blade unsharpened, more strength must be exerted, but skill produces success.

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
