Bible Verses About Diligence

Go to the ant, you lazybones! Consider its ways, and be wise.

It has no chief, overseer or ruler;

yet it provides its food in summer and gathers its supplies at harvest-time.

For God is not so unfair as to forget your work and the love you showed for him in your past service to his people — and in your present service too.

However, we want each one of you to keep showing the same diligence right up to the end, when your hope will be realized;

so that you will not become sluggish, but will be imitators of those who by their trust and patience are receiving what has been promised.
