以弗所書 5:16
- 17
making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.
要愛惜光陰，因為現今的世代邪惡。
不要作糊塗人，要明白主的旨意如何。
箴言 6:9
- 11
How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-
and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
懶惰人哪，你要睡到幾時呢？你何時睡醒呢？
再睡片時，打盹片時，抱著手躺臥片時，
你的貧窮就必如強盜速來，你的缺乏彷彿拿兵器的人來到。
歌羅西書 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
無論做什麼，都要從心裡做，像是給主做的，不是給人做的，
箴言 6:6
- 8
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
懶惰人哪，你去察看螞蟻的動作就可得智慧。
螞蟻沒有元帥，沒有官長，沒有君王，
尚且在夏天預備食物，在收割時聚斂糧食。
以弗所書 4:28
Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
從前偷竊的，不要再偷；總要勞力，親手做正經事，就可有餘分給那缺少的人。
傳道書 3:1
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
凡事都有定期，天下萬務都有定時。
彼得前書 4:3
For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do-living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
因為往日隨從外邦人的心意行邪淫、惡慾、醉酒、荒宴、群飲，並可惡拜偶像的事，時候已經夠了。
詩篇 90:12
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
求你指教我們怎樣數算自己的日子，好叫我們得著智慧的心。
箴言 24:30
- 34
I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.
I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-
and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
我經過懶惰人的田地、無知人的葡萄園，
荊棘長滿了地皮，刺草遮蓋了田面，石牆也坍塌了。
我看見就留心思想；我看著就領了訓誨。
再睡片時，打盹片時，抱著手躺臥片時，
你的貧窮就必如強盜速來，你的缺乏彷彿拿兵器的人來到。
哥林多前書 6:19
- 20
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
豈不知你們的身子就是聖靈的殿嗎？這聖靈是從神而來，住在你們裡頭的；並且你們不是自己的人；
因為你們是重價買來的。所以，要在你們的身子上榮耀神。
箴言 26:14
As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.
門在樞紐轉動，懶惰人在床上也是如此。
