Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Through
Ecclesiastes 11:6
Sow your seed in the morning, and do not rest your hands in the evening, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or if both will equally prosper.
leads to
- 2 Corinthians 9:10–11
  Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your store of seed and will increase the harvest of your righteousness.
- Isaiah 55:10
  For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,
- Haggai 1:6–11
  You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You earn wages to put into…
- Hosea 10:12
  Sow for yourselves righteousness and reap the fruit of loving devotion; break up your unplowed ground. For it is time to seek the LORD until He comes and sends righteousness upon you like rain.
- 2 Corinthians 9:6
  Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
Through
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,
leads to
- Colossians 3:17
  And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
- Ephesians 6:6–7
  And do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
- Romans 14:8
  If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.
