8 The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
30 I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense; 31 thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. 32 I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: 33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— 34 and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
4 A sluggard’s appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
25 The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work. 26 All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing.
13 The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the public square!”
4 Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing.
16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly.
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—33 even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
