The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.

Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.

Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.

But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.

If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

Who “will pay back to everyone according to their works.”

Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.

And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say.

The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it? “I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God, and you will find him when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.

Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.

You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does, so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.

But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith. From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

“They shall be mine,” says Yahweh of Armies, “my own possession in the day that I make. I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.”

Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

By which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble. For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
