8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

GO TO THE ANT, THOU SLUGGARD

PROVERBS 6:6

6 ¶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

PROVERBS 6:7

7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

PROVERBS 6:8

8 Provideth her meat in the summer, [and] gathereth her food in the harvest.

PROVERBS 6:9

9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

PROVERBS 6:10

10 [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

PROVERBS 6:11

11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

I TIMOTHY 6:10

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

I TIMOTHY 6:11

11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

PROVERBS 13:11

11 ¶ Wealth [gotten] by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

LOVE NOT SLEEP

PROVERBS 20:13

13 ¶ Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, [and] thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

NOT SLOTHFUL IN BUSINESS

ROMANS 12:11

11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

ROMANS 12:12

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

ROMANS 12:13

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

ROMANS 12:14

14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

ROMANS 12:15

15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

ROMANS 12:16

16 [Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

ROMANS 12:17

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

THE SWEAT OF THY FACE

GENESIS 3:19

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return.

PROVERBS 14:23

23 ¶ In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to penury.

ECCLESIASTES 9:10

10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

LET HIM LABOUR

EPHESIANS 4:28

28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

EPHESIANS 4:29

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

EPHESIANS 4:30

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

EPHESIANS 4:31

31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

EPHESIANS 4:32

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

WITH QUIETNESS

ECCLESIASTES 4:6

6 Better [is] an handful [with] quietness, than both the hands full [with] travail and vexation of spirit.

II THESSALONIANS 3:12

12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

WHICH IS NOT BREAD

ISAIAH 55:2

2 Wherefore do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labour for [that which] satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

ISAIAH 55:3
