There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of god. For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? For god giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before god.

it is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth god shall come forth of them all.
Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear god, which fear before him:
But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before god.
Then I beheld all the work of god, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto god who gave it.
For god shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy god; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my god also?

All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. it is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before god. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto god uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same god which worketh all in all.
But now hath god set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
What? came the word of god out from you? or came it unto you only? If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. read more Let all things be done decently and in order. show less
But god giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to god: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of god might appear unto you.
For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of god, and wasted it:
But when it pleased god, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: god accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of god, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of god in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but god gave it to Abraham by promise.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of god:
Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of god in truth:
For this cause also thank we god without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of god which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of god, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
We are bound to thank god always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

For every creature of god is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of god and prayer.
At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray god that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for god to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O god.
By faith Abel offered unto god a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, god testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to god must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed god, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of god.
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with god.
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of god of great price.
For it is better, if the will of god be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of god; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which god giveth: that god in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of god: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of god, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of god: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of god sent forth into all the earth.
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living god: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of god in their foreheads.
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of god.
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of god.
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord god omnipotent reigneth.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship god: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty god.
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord god Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of god did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of god and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship god.
