For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being]. (Acts 17:28) For we also are His children.

(Philippians 2:12)

Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men. (Colossians 3:23)
