But he said, H559 You are idle, H7503 you are idle: H7503 therefore H5921 H3651 you say, H559 Let us go H3212 and do sacrifice H2076 to the LORD. H3068

Go H3212 to the ant, H5244 you sluggard; H6102 consider H7200 her ways, H1870 and be wise: H2449

Provides H3559 her meat H3899 in the summer, H7019 and gathers H103 her food H3978 in the harvest. H7105

As vinegar H2558 to the teeth, H8127 and as smoke H6227 to the eyes, H5869 so is the sluggard H6102 to them that send H7971 him.

The soul H5315 of the sluggard H6102 desires, H183 and has nothing: H369 but the soul H5315 of the diligent H2742 shall be made fat. H1878

He also H1571 that is slothful H7503 in his work H4399 is brother H251 to him that is a great H1167 waster. H7843

See H2372 you a man H376 diligent H4106 in his business? H4399 he shall stand H3320 before H6440 kings; H4428 he shall not stand H3320 before H6440 mean H2823 men.

I went H5674 by the field H7704 of the slothful, H6102 and by the vineyard H3754 of the man H120 void H2638 of understanding; H3820

Then I saw, H2372 and considered H7896 H3820 it well: I looked H7200 on it, and received H3947 instruction. H4148

So H3651 shall your poverty H7389 come H935 as one that travels; H1980 and your want H4270 as an armed H4043 man. H376

The slothful H6102 man said, H559 There is a lion H738 in the way; H1870 a lion H738 is in the streets. H7339

The slothful H6102 hides H2934 his hand H3027 in his bosom; H6747 it grieves H3811 him to bring H7725 it again H7725 to his mouth. H6310

Whatever H3605 H834 your hand H3027 finds H4672 to do, H6213 do H6213 it with your might; H3581 for there is no H369 work, H4639 nor device, H2808 nor knowledge, H1847 nor wisdom, H2451 in the grave, H7585 where H834 H8033 you go. H1980

His watchmen H6822 are blind: H5787 they are all H3605 ignorant, H3808 H3045 they are all H3605 dumb H483 dogs, H3611 they cannot H3808 H3201 bark; H5024 sleeping, H1957 lying H7901 down, H7901 loving H157 to slumber. H5123

His lord G2962 answered G611 and said G2036 to him, You wicked G4190 and slothful G3636 servant, G1401 you knew G1492 that I reap G2325 where G3699 I sowed G4687 not, and gather G4863 where G3606 I have not strewed: G1287

Yes, G1161 you yourselves G846 know, G1097 that these G3778 hands G5495 have G2192 ministered G5256 to my necessities, G5532 and to them that were with me.

I have G2192 showed G5263 you all G3956 things, how that so G3779 laboring G2872 you ought G1163 to support G482 the weak, G770 and to remember G3421 the words G3056 of the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 how G3754 he said, G2036 It is more G3122 blessed G3107 to give G1325 than to receive. G2983

Let him that stole G2813 steal G2813 no G3371 more: G2001 but rather G3123 let him labor, G2872 working G2038 with his hands G5495 the thing which is good, G18 that he may have G2192 to give G3330 to him that needs. G5532

And that you study G5389 to be quiet, G2270 and to do G4238 your G2398 own G2398 business, G2398 and to work G2038 with your G2398 own G2398 hands, G5495 as we commanded G3853 you;

That you may walk G4043 honestly G2156 toward G4314 them that are without, G1854 and that you may have G2192 lack G5532 of nothing. G3367

Now G1161 we command G3853 you, brothers, G80 in the name G3686 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that you withdraw G4724 yourselves from every G3956 brother G80 that walks G4043 disorderly, G814 and not after G2596 the tradition G3862 which G3739 he received G3880 of us.

Neither G3761 did we eat G5315 any G5100 man's bread G740 for nothing; G1432 but worked G2038 with labor G2873 and travail G3449 night G3571 and day, G2250 that we might not be chargeable G1912 to any G5100 of you:

For even G2532 when G3753 we were with you, this G5124 we commanded G3853 you, that if G1487 any G1536 would G2309 not work, G2038 neither G3366 should he eat. G2068

Now G1161 them that are such G5108 we command G3853 and exhort G3870 by our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that with quietness G2271 they work, G2038 and eat G2068 their own G1438 bread. G740

And with G260 they learn G3129 to be idle, G692 wandering G4022 about G4022 from house G3614 to house; G3614 and not only G3440 idle, G692 but tattlers G5397 also G2532 and busybodies, G4021 speaking G2980 things which G3588 they ought G1163 not.

For God G2316 is not unrighteous G94 to forget G1950 your G5216 work G2041 and labor G2873 of love, G26 which G3739 you have G2192 showed G1731 toward G1519 his name, G3686 in that you have G2192 ministered G1247 to the saints, G40 and do minister. G1247

And we desire G1937 that every G1538 one of you do show G1731 the same G846 diligence G4710 to the full G4136 assurance G4136 of hope G1680 to the end: G5056

And because G1223 iniquity G458 shall abound, G4129 the love G26 of many G4183 shall wax G5594 cold. G5594

This G3778 man was instructed G2727 in the way G3598 of the Lord; G2962 and being fervent G2204 in the spirit, G4151 he spoke G2980 and taught G1321 diligently G199 the things of the Lord, G2962 knowing G1987 only G3440 the baptism G908 of John. G2491

Epaphras, G1889 who G3588 is one of you, a servant G1401 of Christ, G5547 salutes G782 you, always G3842 laboring G75 fervently for you in prayers, G4335 that you may stand G2476 perfect G5046 and complete G4137 in all G3956 the will G2307 of God. G2316

For I bear G3140 him record, G3140 that he has G2192 a great G4183 zeal G2205 for you, and them that are in Laodicea, G2993 and them in Hierapolis. G2404

Confess G1843 your G3588 faults G3900 one G240 to another, G240 and pray G2172 one G240 for another, G240 that you may be healed. G2390 The effectual G1754 fervent prayer G1162 of a righteous G1342 man avails G2480 much. G4183

Seeing you have purified G48 your G5216 souls G5590 in obeying G5218 the truth G225 through G1223 the Spirit G4151 to unfeigned G505 love G5360 of the brothers, G5360 see that you love G25 one G240 another G240 with a pure G2513 heart G2588 fervently: G1619

And above G4253 all G3956 things have G2192 fervent G1618 charity G26 among G1519 yourselves: G1438 for charity G26 shall cover G2572 the multitude G4128 of sins. G266

Nevertheless G235 I have G2192 somewhat against G2596 you, because G3754 you have left G863 your first G4413 love. G26

I know G1492 your works, G2041 that you are G1488 neither G3777 cold G5593 nor G3777 hot: G2200 I would G3785 you were G1498 cold G5593 or G2228 hot. G2200

So G3779 then because G3754 you are G1488 lukewarm, G5513 and neither G3777 cold G5593 nor G3777 hot, G2200 I will G3195 spew G1692 you out of my mouth. G4750

For he that is called G2564 in the Lord, G2962 being a servant, G1401 is the Lord's G2962 freeman: G558 likewise G3668 also G2532 he that is called, G2564 being free, G1658 is Christ's G5547 servant. G1401

Servants, G1401 be obedient G5219 to them that are your masters G2962 according G2596 to the flesh, G4561 with fear G5401 and trembling, G5156 in singleness G572 of your G5216 heart, G2588 as to Christ; G5547

With good G2133 will G2133 doing G1398 service, G1398 as to the Lord, G2962 and not to men: G444

Servants, G1401 obey G5219 in all G3956 things your G3588 masters G2962 according G2596 to the flesh; G4561 not with eye-service, G3787 as men pleasers; G441 but in singleness G572 of heart, G2588 fearing G5399 God; G2316

Knowing G1492 that of the Lord G2962 you shall receive G618 the reward G469 of the inheritance: G2817 for you serve G1398 the Lord G2962 Christ. G5547

Masters, G2962 give G3930 to your G3588 servants G1401 that which is just G1342 and equal; G2471 knowing G1492 that you also G2532 have G2192 a Master G2962 in heaven. G3772

Exhort servants G1401 to be obedient G5293 to their own G2398 masters, G1203 and to please G2001 G1511 them well G1510 G2101 in all G3956 things; not answering G483 again; G483

Not purloining, G3557 but showing G1731 all G3956 good G18 fidelity; G4102 that they may adorn G2885 the doctrine G1319 of God G2316 our Savior G4990 in all G3956 things.

Why G1352 we receiving G3880 a kingdom G932 which cannot G761 be moved, G761 let us have G2192 grace, G5485 whereby G1223 G3739 we may serve G3000 God G2316 acceptably G2102 with reverence G127 and godly fear: G2124
