1
34:1 The good workman receiveth boldly the bread of his labour, but the
slothful and remiss looketh not his employer in the face.
34:2 It is therefore right that we should be zealous in well-doing, for from
Him are all things;
34:3 for he telleth us beforehand, Behold the Lord cometh, and his reward is
before his face, to give to every one according to his work.
34:4 He exhorteth us, therefore, with this reward in view, to strive with our
whole heart not to be slothful or remiss towards every good work.
34:5 Let our glorying and our confidence be in him; let us submit ourselves
to his will; let us consider the whole multitude of his angels, how they stand
by and serve his will.
34:6 For the scripture saith, Ten thousand times ten thousand stood beside
him, and thousands of thousands served him; and they cried, Holy, holy, holy
Lord of Sabaoth! all creation is full of his glory.
34:7 And let us, being gathered together in harmony and a good conscience,
cry earnestly, as it were with one mouth, unto him, that we may become partakers
of his great and glorious promises;
34:8 for he saith, Eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, neither hath
there entered into the heart of man, what things he hath prepared for them that
wait for him.
