The night cometh, when no man can work.
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: Verily, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works follow them.--There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary are at rest.--Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up?
Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where thou goest.--The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
