The good workman receiveth the bread of his work with boldness, but the slothful and careless dareth not look his employer in the face.
2It is therefore needful that we should be zealous unto well doing, for of Him are all things:
3since He forewarneth us saying, Behold, the Lord, and His reward is before His face, to recompense each man according to his work.
4He exhorteth us therefore to believe on Him with our whole heart, and to be not idle nor careless unto every good work.
5Let our boast and our confidence be in Him: let us submit ourselves to His will; let us mark the whole host of His angels, how they stand by and minister unto His will.
6For the scripture saith, Ten thousands of ten thousands stood by Him, and thousands of thousands ministered unto Him: and they cried aloud, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Sabaoth; all creation is full of His glory.
7Yea, and let us ourselves then, being gathered together in concord with intentness of heart, cry unto Him as from one mouth earnestly that we may be made partakers of His great and glorious promises.
8For He saith, Eye hath not seen and ear hath not heard, and it hath not entered into the heart of man what great things He hath prepared for them that patiently await Him.
