¹⁹ by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou `art', and unto dust thou turnest back.'

¹⁶ And lo, a man, an aged one, hath come from his work from the field in the evening, and the man `is' of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he `is' a sojourner in Gibeah, and the men of the place `are' Benjamites.

¹² Sweet `is' the sleep of the labourer whether he eat little or much; and the sufficiency of the wealthy is not suffering him to sleep.

²⁸ whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.

⁸ nor for nought did we eat bread of any one, but in labour and in travail, night and day working, not to be chargeable to any of you;

⁹ not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;

¹⁰ for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

¹¹ for we hear of certain walking among you disorderly, nothing working, but over working,

¹² and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;
