- Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. - If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up. - Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor. - Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
For it is not wise to ask such questions. - Whoever loves money never has enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
This too is meaningless. - There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens. - So then, banish anxiety from your heart
and cast off the troubles of your body,
for youth and vigor are meaningless. - When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.
- As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things. - Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
