Do not love sleep, lest thou come to poverty, open thine eyes, be satisfied with bread.

Sloth, falleth into a deep sleep, and, a soul that is indolent, shall famish.

How long, O sluggard, wilt thou lie? how long ere thou rise from thy sleep?

He that tilleth his land, shall be filled with food, but, he that runneth after worthless men, lacketh sense.

In business, not slothful, in spirit, fervent, to the Lord, doing service,

He becometh poor, who dealeth with a slack hand, but, the hand of the diligent, maketh rich.

The sluggard, desireth, but his soul hath, nothing. But, the soul of the diligent, shall be enriched.

By the field of the sluggard, I passed, and by the vineyard of a man lacking sense;

Then drew near unto him the shipmaster, and said to him, What meanest thou, O sound sleeper? Arise, cry unto thy God, Peradventure God will bethink himself of us, that we perish not.

And, this besides, - knowing the season - that it is an hour already for you out of sleep to be wakened; for, now, is our salvation nearer than when we believed:

Wake up to sobriety, in righteousness, and be not committing sin; for some have, an ignorance of God: for shame, unto you, am I speaking!

Wherefore it saith - Up! thou sleeper, and arise from among the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee.

For, even when we were with you, this, were we giving in charge unto you, - that, if any will not work, neither let him eat!
