Genesis 3:17-19

17And to Adam he said,

Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
aof which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
bcursed is the ground because of you;
cin pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
dfor you are dust,
and eto dust you shall return.”

Proverbs 16:26

26A worker’s appetite works for him;
his fmouth urges him on.

Matthew 6:25

Do Not Be Anxious

25 gTherefore I tell you, hdo not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

John 6:27

27 iDo not work for the food that perishes, but for jthe food that endures to eternal life, which kthe Son of Man will give to you. For on lhim God the Father has mset his seal.”

1 Timothy 6:6-8

6But ngodliness owith contentment is great gain, 7for pwe brought nothing into the world, and
Greek for; some manuscripts insert [it is] certain [that]
we cannot take anything out of the world.
8But rif we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
