Laziness
1Thesalonians 4:11-12 "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."
II Thesalonians 3:10-12 "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."
Proverbs 28:19 "He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty."
Proverbs 13:4 "The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied."
Proverbs 10:4-5 "Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son."
Proverbs 21:5 "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."
Proverbs 12:24 "Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor."
Proverbs 12:11 "He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment." |
