There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink, and delight in his work. This also I saw was from the hand of God. After all, who eats and who drinks better than I? To the man who is good, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy. But to the sinner he gives the work of getting goods together and storing up wealth, to give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

He looked at his disciples and said: Blessed are you who are poor for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now for you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now: for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they separate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. read more.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy. For your reward is great in heaven. Your fathers treated the prophets the same way. Woe to you who are rich! You have received your reward. Woe to you who are full now! For you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now! You will mourn and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you! Their fathers did the same to the prophets. I tell you who listen, love your enemies and do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who despitefully use you. When someone slaps you on one cheek offer the other. Give your coat to the one who takes your topcoat. Give to every one who asks of you and do not demand back your goods from he who takes from you. As you would like men to do to you, do also to them. If you love those who love you what thanks do you have? Even sinners love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you what thanks do you have? Even sinners do the same. If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive what thanks do you have? Even sinners lend to sinners to receive again as much. Love your enemies and do good to them. Lend expecting nothing in return and your reward will be great. You will be sons of the Most High for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil. Be merciful even as your Father is merciful.
