But

I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him?

Go then, eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works.

It shall come about that as the Lord

delighted over you to prosper you, and multiply you, so the Lord will delight over you to make you perish and destroy you; and you will be torn from the land where you are entering to possess it.

Trust in the Lord and do good;

Dwell in the land and

cultivate faithfulness.

You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, You were angry, for we sinned,
We continued in them a long time;
And shall we be saved?

But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you.

In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.

Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,
