So be very diligent to love the Lord your God for your own well-being.

When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard that someone had come to seek the well-being of the Israelites, they were greatly displeased.

my whole being is shaken with terror.
And You, Lord—how long?

Be gracious to me, Lord,
because I am in distress;
my eyes are worn out from angry sorrow—
my whole being as well.

Let those who want my vindication
shout for joy and be glad;
let them continually say,
“The Lord be exalted.
He takes pleasure in His servant’s well-being.”

Guarantee Your servant’s well-being;
do not let the arrogant oppress me.

for they will bring you
many days, a full life, and well-being.

Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray for the well-being of these people.

The officials then said to the king, “This man ought to die, because he is weakening the morale of the warriors who remain in this city and of all the people by speaking to them in this way. This man is not seeking the well-being of this people, but disaster.”

Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart.

Slaves, obey your human masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.

For you may very well be giving thanks, but the other person is not being built up.

I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need.
