Both are valid, but they have completely different meanings.
I stopped working means I once worked, and now no longer do. I stopped to work means that I once was doing something (unspecified, based on context), and I stopped from doing it so that I could work. I stopped to work and to think on my own. in order to work = with a meaning that I could work. The infinitive here has the meaning of in order to work and so that I could work.
I stopped cooking means I once cooked, and no longer do, but I stopped to cook means I stopped so that I was then able to cook.
What exactly is the common thread between the ‘great faith’ and the ‘great man’?

Asked on December 24, 2021 in Meaning.
Getting a person to hear you jamming into his throat means making sure he does it. Check with your doctor for results.
So Pat Rafter is saying that he’ll make absolutely sure his family gets the message that they can’t afford to be complacent when playing against the Chinese. What is the best way to convince a basketball player that he/she is tough or they won’t win?
In every case, vegan/vegetarians really don’t have to fight for their views or look down on others, but have their own opinions.
If you’re planning to use this expression, consider a more common form, “shove down one’s throat” What are some examples from NGrams that show “drop down to his throat”, though rare, and are not present; “jam into his throat” does not appear. How’s the pain in “their throats”?

Keep here refers to board and lodging; subsistence; support (e.g. To work for one’s keep).
Worth one’s keep means one is worth the trouble of lodging and feeding him. When the disciples travel to the north, and Jesus is saying not to provide for their own boarding; that their work will be worth board and lodging to those they come to. As Kit points out, he is also reminding them that to be worth their keep, they must work. After all, one should not expect free handouts.
