Answer 1

Here are a few, so this is half your assignment from your parents. Now, i suggest you be ready to explain to them how these verses apply and justify your working. I have a feeling they will ask you!


(Proverbs 21:25) “The desire of the lazy man kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.”

(Proverbs 26:14) “As a door turns on its hinges, so does the lazy man on his bed.”

(Proverbs 26:13) “The lazy man says, ‘There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!’”

(Proverbs 12:24) “The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor.”

(Proverbs 10:26) “As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is the lazy man to those who send him.”

(Proverbs 18:9) “He who is slothful in his work is a brother to him who is a great waster.”

(Proverbs 6:6) “Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise.”

(Proverbs 26:16) “The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly.”

(Proverbs 20:4) “The lazy man will not plow because of winter; he will beg during harvest and have nothing.”

(Proverbs 13:4) “The soul of the lazy man desires and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.”


(Acts 20:34-35) “Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

(1 Timothy 5:8) “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

1 Thes. 2: 9 (2 Thes. 3: 8) labouring . . . because we would not be chargeable.
1 Thes. 4: 11 to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.

Answer 3

First you have to determine if you're working for God or yourself. However, I will give you 2 important scriptures.

The Bible says, if a man doesn't wok he can't eat.
2 Thes 3:10.

God and Jesus worked and so should you. John 5:17

Answer 4

The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: 'Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.' (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)

Answer 5

2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
