Work Hard!

For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will
not work, he shall not eat." We hear that some among you are idle.
They are not busy; they are busybodies. Such people we command and
urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they
eat.


2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 NIV

Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and
enjoy oneself in all one's labor in which he toils under the sun
during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is
his reward. Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches
and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive
his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.


Ecclesiastes 5:18,19 NASB
