The wage of the righteous leads to life, the gain of the wicked to sin.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, but violence takes lives away.
Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor.
For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander.
Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.”
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
But wicked people and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived.
For God is not unjust; he will not overlook your work and the love that you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.
