"labour in vain" . . . "God that giveth the increase"
"labour in vain"
Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord build the House, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the City, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Job 9:29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
Job 39:16-17 She [the ostrich] is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear; because God hath deprived her of Wisdom, neither hath He imparted to her Understanding.
Jeremiah 51:58 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; the broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
Galatians 4:9-11 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
I Thessalonians 3:5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your Faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
"God that giveth the increase."
Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord build the House, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the City, the watchman waketh but in vain.
I Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Isaiah 65:22-24 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of My people, and Mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the Blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
I Corinthians 15:57-58 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
