1.* “The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.” *2* “A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” *3* “The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.” *4* “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”
