Those who work their land will have plenty of food. But those who chase dreams will be very poor.

Hands that work hard will rule. But people who are lazy will be forced to work.

Do not work for food that spoils. Work for food that lasts forever. That is the food the Son of Man will give you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”

Even when we were with you, we gave you a rule. We said,“ Anyone who won’t work shouldn’t be allowed to eat.”We hear that some people among you don’t want to work and are making trouble. They aren’t really busy. Instead, they are bothering others.We belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. So we strongly command people like that to settle down. They have to earn the food they eat.

Many worries result in dreams. Many words result in foolish talk.

God is fair. He will not forget what you have done. He will remember the love you have shown him. You showed it when you helped his people. And you show it when you keep on helping them.We want each of you to be faithful to the very end. If you are, then what you hope for will fully happen.

Besides, they get into the habit of having nothing to do. They go around from house to house. They waste their time. They also bother other people and say things that make no sense. They shouldn’t say those things.

An evil wink gets you into trouble. And foolish chattering destroys you.
