In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn’t care for the sheep.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’

But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?

What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

Give us day by day our daily bread.

What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

For all his days are sorrows, and his travail is grief; yes, even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

Go your way—eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.

Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity, for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.

Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth: therefore enjoy pleasure;” and behold, this also was vanity.

He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.

Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,

What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?

Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.

but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.

The appetite of the laboring man labors for him; for his mouth urges him on.

Whatever my eyes desired, I didn’t keep from them. I didn’t withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.

Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and chasing after wind.

There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. “For whom then, do I labor and deprive my soul of enjoyment?” This also is vanity. Yes, it is a miserable business.

Give us today our daily bread.

Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.

Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.

But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
