Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:10
This verse emphasizes doing whatever your hand finds to do with all your might, which contradicts being fervent in spirit, as it focuses on might rather than spiritual fervor.
Ecclesiastes 9:10: Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Contradiction with Luke 10:40
Martha is busy with much serving, contrasting with the idea of not being slothful in work, as she is criticized for her busyness instead of spiritual fervor.
Luke 10:40: But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
Contradiction with Proverbs 19:15
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, which challenges the notion of being fervent in spirit since it warns against laziness but without the focus on spiritual zeal.
Proverbs 19:15: Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
