Looking for a bible verse

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
I'm designing business cards as a gift for my father in law and brother in law.
They own a small carpet cleaning business.
My father in law is an evangelical Christian who basically wouldn't even consider using a business card that didn't some how reference his Christianity.
I was thinking of maybe including a bible verse somewhere, but I have no idea which one.
Preferably something that doesn't make is seem like he's proselytizing, and maybe something that references hard work/working with integrity?
Any suggestions?

This is what I use on our chapel cleaning schedule:

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
John 15:3

(though more recent translations speak of "pruning" rather than cleaning)

Yet the righteous shall hold to His way, and he who has clean hands increase in strength.
Job 17:9

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might ... ~the first part of Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men ~Colossians 3:23

Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice. ~Proverbs 16:8

I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man. ~Acts 24:16

For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men. ~2 Corinthians 8:21

It's not actually a Bible verse, but I would be tempted to go for "Brighten the corner where you are".

I like that one the best. It gives a strong statement about their business ethics.

there is always this one . . . .
Proverbs 22:27 "if you lack the means to pay your very bed will be snatched from under you "

You might want to find out if he has a preference for Bible versions. I don't know about evangelicals, but the Fundamentalists I was raised by only used the King James Version. They'd be horrified by any other version.
