ECC_3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
ECC_3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity.
ECC_3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
ECC_3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
ECC_3:22 Wherefore I perceive that [there is] nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that [is] his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
ECC_4:1 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of [such as were] oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors [there was] power; but they had no comforter.
ECC_4:2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
ECC_4:3 Yea, better [is he] than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
ECC_4:4 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.
ECC_4:5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
ECC_4:6 Better [is] an handful [with] quietness, than both the hands full [with] travail and vexation of spirit.
ECC_4:7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
ECC_4:8 There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yea, it [is] a sore travail.
ECC_4:9 Two [are] better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
ECC_4:10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him [that is] alone when he falleth; for [he hath] not another to help him up.
ECC_4:11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm [alone]?
ECC_4:12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
ECC_4:13 Better [is] a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
ECC_4:14 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also [he that is] born in his kingdom becometh poor.
ECC_4:15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
ECC_4:16 [There is] no end of all the people, [even] of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
ECC_5:1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
ECC_5:2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for God [is] in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
ECC_5:3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words.
ECC_5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for [he hath] no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
ECC_5:5 Better [is it] that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
ECC_5:6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it [was] an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
ECC_5:7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there are] also [divers] vanities: but fear thou God.
ECC_5:8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for [he that is] higher than the highest regardeth; and [there be] higher than they.
ECC_5:9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king [himself] is served by the field.
ECC_5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this [is] also vanity.
ECC_5:11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good [is there] to the owners thereof, saving the beholding [of them] with their eyes?
ECC_5:12 The sleep of a labouring man [is] sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
ECC_5:13 There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
ECC_5:14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and [there is] nothing in his hand.
ECC_5:15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
ECC_5:16 And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
ECC_5:17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and [he hath] much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
ECC_5:18 Behold [that] which I have seen: [it is] good and comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it [is] his portion.
ECC_5:19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this [is] the gift of God.
ECC_5:20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth [him] in the joy of his heart.
ECC_6:1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it [is] common among men:
ECC_6:2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease.
ECC_6:3 If a man beget an hundred [children], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also [that] he have no burial; I say, [that] an untimely birth [is] better than he.
ECC_6:4 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
ECC_6:5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known [any thing]: this hath more rest than the other.
ECC_6:6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice [told], yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
ECC_6:7 All the labour of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
ECC_6:8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
ECC_6:9 Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.
ECC_6:10 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it [is] man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
ECC_6:11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what [is] man the better?
ECC_6:12 For who knoweth what [is] good for man in [this] life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
ECC_7:1 A good name [is] better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
ECC_7:2 [It is] better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that [is] the end of all men; and the living will lay [it] to his heart.
ECC_7:3 Sorrow [is] better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
ECC_7:4 The heart of the wise [is] in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools [is] in the house of mirth.
ECC_7:5 [It is] better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
ECC_7:6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so [is] the laughter of the fool: this also [is] vanity.
ECC_7:7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
ECC_7:8 Better [is] the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] better than the proud in spirit.
1CO_7:36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of [her] age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
1CO_7:37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
1CO_7:38 So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage doeth better.
1CO_7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
1CO_7:40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
1CO_8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
1CO_8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
1CO_8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
1CO_8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that [there is] none other God but one.
1CO_8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1CO_8:6 But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by him.
1CO_8:7 Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
1CO_8:8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
1CO_8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
1CO_8:10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
1CO_8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
1CO_8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
1CO_8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
1CO_9:1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
1CO_9:2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
PSA_104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, [which] sing among the branches.
PSA_104:13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
PSA_104:14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
PSA_104:15 And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man's heart.
PSA_104:16 The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
PSA_104:17 Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork, the fir trees [are] her house.
PRO_22:20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
PRO_22:21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
LUKJ_18:24 How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
LUKJ_18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
LUKJ_18:27 The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
LUKJ_18:29 Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
LUKJ_18:30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
LUKJ_18:31 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
