¹² I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

¹³ I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

⁴ He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

²⁴ The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

²⁴ Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

¹¹ And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

¹² That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
