And as for rayment, why should that give you pain? consider the lillies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin.

master, said Simon, we have toil'd all the night, without any prize: however, since you give the word, I will throw the net.

consider the lillys how they grow: they neither toil nor spin: and yet, I tell you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

we are fatigu'd by our manual toil: when reviled, we pray: when persecuted, we don't repine:

expos'd to toil, to fatigue, to frequent watchings, to hunger and thirst, to frequent fastings, to cold and penury.

for you remember, my brethren, our labour and toil: how we worked day and night, that in preaching the gospel of God, we might not be chargeable to any of you.

that we did not eat any man's bread for nothing: but with toil and fatigue work'd night and day to avoid being chargeable to any of you:

be you then entirely upon the watch: be insensible to toil: perform the work of an evangelist, and discharge your ministerial function.
