Things that Profit

Righteousness

Job 35:8

  

Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only the sons of men.

All labor

Proverbs 14:23

  

All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

Gospel preaching

1 Corinthians 10:33

  

Even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.

God’s teaching

Isaiah 48:17

  

This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.

Spiritual gifts

1 Corinthians 12:1-7

  

1 Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.

3 Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.

6 There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
