23 Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men.

23 Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men.24 For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are.

17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father.

7 With right good will, be faithful to your duty as service rendered to the Lord and not to man.8 You well know that whatever right thing any one does, he will receive a requital for it from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a free man.

31 Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.

58 Therefore, my dear brethren, be firm, unmovable, busily occupied at all times in the Lord's work, knowing that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.

14 Let all that you do be done from motives of love.

15 Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame.

16 Every Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for convincing, for correction of error, and for instruction in right doing;17 so that the man of God may himself be complete and may be perfectly equipped for every good work.

14 Be ever on your guard against a grudging and contentious spirit,15 so that you may always prove yourselves to be blameless and spotless–irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as heavenly lights in the world,

10 For even when we were with you, we laid down this rule for you:»If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat.«11 For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly lives and are mere idle busybodies.12 To persons of that sort our injunction –and our command by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ– is that they are to work quietly and eat their own honestly-earned bread.

11 and to vie with one another in eagerness for peace, every one minding his own business and working with his hands, as we ordered you to do:12 so as to live worthy lives in relation to outsiders, and not be a burden to any one.

28 He who has been a thief must steal no more, but, instead of that, should work with his own hands in honest industry, so that he may have something of which he can give the needy a share.

8 And God is able to bestow every blessing on you in abundance, so that richly enjoying all sufficiency at all times, you may have ample means for all good works.

9 It follows that there still remains a sabbath rest for the people of God.10 For He who has been admitted to His rest, has rested from His works as God did from His.

26 Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?

13 And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which is good?

12 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me–the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father.

24 But even the sacrifice of my life I count as nothing, if only I may perfect my earthly course, and be faithful to the duty which the Lord Jesus has entrusted to me of proclaiming, as of supreme importance, the Good News of God's grace.

8 Keep guard over yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but may receive back a full reward.
