- When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.
- Whoever loves money never has enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
This too is meaningless. - As goods increase,
so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owners
except to feast their eyes on them? - Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb,
and as everyone comes, so they depart.
They take nothing from their toil
that they can carry in their hands. - This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot.
- Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
