Galatians 5 describes something called “the work of the flesh”. Really it should probably be called “the work of those who are led by Satan”. Work implies that a wage will be received and those who are led by Satan will indeed be paid a wage.
Those who are working for Satan do things like having sex with whoever might be available... homosexuality, drunkenness, wild partying, animosity, bickering and fighting are all activities associated with Satan. Those engaged in such activities have wages that are paid on earth and in life after earth.
On earth you can expect your life to be characterized by; Isolation, unhappiness, turmoil, impatience, arrogance, etc. (6:22-23). In the afterlife you can expect eternal suffering (5:21).
Choose to “work” for God and experience blessings on earth and in Heaven (5:22-23 & 6:8).
