Ecclesiastes 9:10

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.

And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
