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.

¹¹ And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

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.

⁸ Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

4 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

³ Give us day by day our daily bread.

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

17 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

² For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

¹⁴ Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:

¹⁵ And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
