Proverbs 27:18

"Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?"

"The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. that...: or, labouring first, must be partaker of the fruits"

"My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred."

"If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour."

"Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them."

"Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour."

"Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing."

"And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities."

"Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. mean...: Heb. obscure men"
