So Joshua said to the people of Israel,“ How long will you put off going in to take possession of the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?

Then Joshua asked them,“ How long are you going to wait before taking possession of the remaining land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given to you?

他們說：『起來，我們上去攻擊他們；因為我們已經看了那地；啊，好極啦。你們竟靜坐不動呢。可別懶着走，懶着進去取得那地呀。

懶怠的手掌造成貧窮；殷勤人的手使人富足。

當那日、必有話向耶路撒冷說：『錫安哪，不要懼怕！你的手不要軟下去！

懶惰人白羨慕着，也一無所得；殷勤的人必得豐裕。

所以弟兄們，你們更應當竭力盡心，使你們所蒙的呼召和揀選、確定不移。這幾樣你們若實行，就絕對永不失腳。這樣，進入我們的主、救主耶穌基督、永世之國的福、就會豐豐富富供應與你們了。

弟兄們，我不以自己為已經抓得着了。只有一件；我就是忘了背後的，盡全身之力去追求前面的事，向着標竿直跑，要得上帝在基督耶穌裏呼召我向上去得的獎賞。

留心側耳聽智慧，傾心求明哲；你若呼求聰明，揚聲求明哲，尋求它如尋求銀礦，搜尋它如搜尋寶藏，那麼你就明白敬畏永恆主的道理，找到認識上帝的門路。因為永恆主賜予智慧；知識和明達都由他口中而出；

凡你的手見得可作的事、你總要盡力去作；因為在你所要去的陰間、那裏沒有工作，沒有設計，沒有知識，也沒有智慧。

別為那必敗壞的食品作工了，要為那存歸永生的食品作工，就是人子所要給你們的，因為人子乃是父上帝所蓋印承認的。』
