And lo! a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

Come to me, all who labour hard, and sustain heavy burdens, and I will give you relief.

Now when Jesus was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And when he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came, having an alabaster vase of ointment, of genuine spikenard, of vast value: and breaking the vase, she let it flow down upon his head.

I have sent you to reap that on which ye have bestowed no labour: others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labour.

Labour not for the meat which is perishable, but for that meat which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for him hath the Father sealed, even God.

but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who were with me.

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but every one shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

or I alone and Barnabas, have we not power to forbear labour?

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

in labour and travail, in watchings often, in fastings frequently, in hunger and thirst, in cold and nakedness;

I am afraid for you, lest haply I have bestowed on you labour in vain.

Let him that stole steal no more; but rather labour hard, working with his hands that which is good, that he may have something to give to him that is in want.

And in every thing that ye do, labour from the soul, as for the Lord, and not man;

without ceasing calling to mind your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: for night and day working hard, that we might be no burden to any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

For this cause also, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your fidelity, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labour should be in vain.

Now we entreat you, brethren, to know those who labour among you, and preside over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

neither did we eat bread with any man unpaid for, but with labour and toil worked night and day, that we might be burdensome to none of you:

Now such we command, and conjure, by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they labour, and eat their own bread.

For therefore do we labour and are exposed to abuse, because we have hoped in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.

For God is not unjust, to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have demonstrated in his name, having ministered assistance to the saints, and still ministering.
