What does the Bible say about work?

Work is good—God worked in creation and gave Adam work in Eden before the Fall. Colossians 3:23 says work 'heartily, as for the Lord.' We're to avoid laziness (Proverbs 6:6) and provide for our families (1 Timothy 5:8). Work becomes worship when done for God's glory.

Why this answer? It starts with Colossians 3:23, then cross-checks Proverbs 6:6-11 and 2 Thessalonians 3:10 so the summary stays anchored in Scripture.
