The wage of the righteous leads to life, the gain of the wicked to sin.
For God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal.”
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, but lawlessness takes away lives.
while evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived.
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander.
He who pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor.
