If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

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

That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

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:

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
