And why are you solicitous concerning raiment? Know the lilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin.

Observe the lilies, how they toil not, neither do they spin: and I say unto you, That Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these.

and we toil working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it;

in labor and in toil, in vigils often, in hunger and in thirst, in fastings often, in cold and in nakedness.

For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil: night and day working, that we should burden no one of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

neither did we eat bread with any one gratuitously, but with labor and toil, night and day working, that we might not burden any one of you:

For unto this we toil and agonize, because we have hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.
