A merry heart maketh a lusty age; but a sorrowful mind drieth up the bones.

A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance; but an unquiet mind maketh it heavy.

Heaviness discourageth the heart of man, but a good word maketh it glad again.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my gums, and thou shalt bring me into the dust of death.

A good stomach driveth away a man's disease; but when the spirit is vexed, who may abide it?

For ye sorrowed godly: so that in nothing were ye hurt by us. For godly sorrow causeth repentance, unto salvation not to be repented of: when worldly sorrow causeth death.

For while I held my tongue, my bones consumed away through my daily complaining.

For my days are consumed away like smoke, and my bones are burnt up as it were a firebrand.

Go thou thy way then, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with gladness, for thy works please God.

by whom we have a way in, through faith, unto this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the praise that shall be given of God.

So that now contrariwise ye ought to forgive him and comfort him: lest that same person should be swallowed up with overmuch heaviness.
