No matter how much a lazy person may want something, he will never get it. A hard worker will get everything he wants.

Lazy people who refuse to work are only killing themselves;

"Do your best to go in through the narrow door; because many people will surely try to go in but will not be able.

Let us, then, do our best to receive that rest, so that no one of us will fail as they did because of their lack of faith.

Our great desire is that each of you keep up your eagerness to the end, so that the things you hope for will come true.

We do not want you to become lazy, but to be like those who believe and are patient, and so receive what God has promised.

For this very reason do your best to add goodness to your faith; to your goodness add knowledge;

So then, my friends, try even harder to make God's call and his choice of you a permanent experience; if you do so, you will never abandon your faith.
