[ 3:18] And to Adam He said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat of it- of that you have eaten, cursed is the ground in your labors, in pain shall you eat of it all the days of your life.

[ 3:20] In the sweat of your face shall you eat your bread until you return to the ground out of which you were taken, for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

A man who labors, labors for himself, and drives from him his own ruin.

"Because of this I say to you, do not worry [about] your life--what you shall eat, or what you shall drink--nor [about] your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food and the body [more than] clothing?

Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for [upon] Him God the Father has set [His] seal."

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

But having food and clothing, with these things we shall be content.

If a man beget a hundred [children], and live many years, yea, however abundant the days of his years shall be, yet [if] his soul shall not be satisfied with good, and also he have no burial; I said, An untimely birth is better than he.

He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof. This also is vanity.

And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid away for many years; relax; eat, drink, and be merry."'
