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.

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.

Hebrews 13:16And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.1 Thessalonians 4:11and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.1 Timothy 6:18Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,Genesis 2:15Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.Galatians 6:10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.1 Thessalonians 4:11–12and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.Proverbs 21:5The plans of the diligent bring plenty, as surely as haste leads to poverty.Acts 20:35In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”Romans 12:11Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.Exodus 20:15You shall not steal.2 Thessalonians 3:11–12Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies.1 Corinthians 6:10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.Proverbs 31:20She opens her arms to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.2 Thessalonians 3:12We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.Genesis 3:19By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground—because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”Proverbs 12:11The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies lacks judgment.Zechariah 5:3Then he told me, “This is the curse that is going out over the face of all the land, for according to one side of the scroll, every thief will be removed; and according to the other side, every perjurer will be removed.2 Thessalonians 3:6–8Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.
