While the Bible does not explicitly mention strikes as understood today, it provides principles and teachings that can be applied to the concept of labor disputes and the relationships between employers and employees.<br><br><b>Biblical Principles on Work and Labor Relations:</b> <br>The Bible emphasizes the dignity of work and the importance of fair treatment in labor relations. In <a href="/colossians/3-23.htm">Colossians 3:23-24</a> , it is written, "Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men, because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." This passage underscores the value of diligent work and the ultimate accountability to God rather than human masters.<br><br><b>Employer Responsibilities:</b> <br>Scripture also addresses the responsibilities of those in positions of authority over workers. In <a href="/james/5-4.htm">James 5:4</a> , it states, "Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts." This verse highlights the sin of withholding fair wages and the divine attention to injustices faced by laborers.<br><br><b>Employee Conduct:</b> <br>The Bible encourages employees to act with integrity and respect towards their employers. <a href="/ephesians/6-5.htm">Ephesians 6:5-8</a> advises, "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. And do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve with good will, as to the Lord and not to men, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free." While the context refers to slaves and masters, the principles of respect and sincerity apply to modern employee-employer relationships.<br><br><b>Conflict Resolution:</b> <br>The Bible advocates for peaceful resolution of conflicts and disputes. <a href="/matthew/18-15.htm">Matthew 18:15-17</a> provides a model for addressing grievances: "If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector." This passage suggests a process of direct communication and mediation before escalating conflicts.<br><br><b>Justice and Advocacy:</b> <br>The Bible calls for justice and advocacy for the oppressed. <a href="/proverbs/31-8.htm">Proverbs 31:8-9</a> instructs, "Open your mouth for those with no voice, for the justice of all the dispossessed. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the poor and needy." This directive encourages believers to speak out against injustices and support those who are marginalized, which can include advocating for fair labor practices.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While the Bible does not directly address the modern concept of strikes, its teachings on work, justice, and conflict resolution provide a framework for understanding and navigating labor disputes. Believers are called to uphold principles of fairness, integrity, and peaceful resolution in all aspects of work and employment.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/5221.htm"><span class="l">5221. nakah -- to smite</span></a><br><b>...</b> 1), slew (8), smashed (1), smite (12), smiter (1), smiting (1), smitten (7), smote<br> (13), stricken (3), strike (49), strike down (9), <b>strikes</b> (9), <b>strikes</b> down <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/5221.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/5606.htm"><span class="l">5606. saphaq -- to slap, clap</span></a><br><b>...</b> Word Origin a prim. root Definition to slap, clap NASB Word Usage clap (2), claps<br> (1), smote (1), strike (2), <b>strikes</b> (1), struck together (1), wallow (1). <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/5606.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/4672.htm"><span class="l">4672. matsa -- to attain to, find</span></a><br><b>...</b> overtook (1), pleases* (1), possessed (1), present (15), reached (3), reaped (1),<br> requires (1), secured (1), seeking (1), spreads (1), <b>strikes</b> (1), sufficient <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/4672.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/5060.htm"><span class="l">5060. naga -- to touch, reach, strike</span></a><br><b>...</b> 1), happens (2), plagued (1), pretended to be beaten (1), reach (4), reached (6),<br> reaching (1), smitten (1), stricken (2), strike (1), <b>strikes</b> (1), struck (3 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/5060.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/origen/origen_against_celsus/chapter_xxv_celsus_then_extracts.htm"><span class="l">Celsus Then Extracts from the Gospel the Precept, "To Him who <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Chapter XXV.
