I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.

I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live;

So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.

I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and enjoy the good life.

I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime;

I have concluded that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to enjoy themselves as long as they live,

So a person should enjoy their work. That’s what God made them for. I saw that there’s nothing better for them to do than that. After all, who can show them what will happen after they are gone?

Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live in the land and enjoy its food.

Make sure that no one pays back one wrong act with another. Instead, always try to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.Always be joyful.

Command the rich to do what is good. Tell them to be rich in doing good things. They must give freely. They must be willing to share.

Always be joyful because you belong to the Lord. I will say it again. Be joyful!Let everyone know how gentle you are. The Lord is coming soon.Don’t worry about anything. No matter what happens, tell God about everything. Ask and pray, and give thanks to him.Then God’s peace will watch over your hearts and your minds. He will do this because you belong to Christ Jesus. God’s peace can never be completely understood.Finally, my brothers and sisters, always think about what is true. Think about what is noble, right and pure. Think about what is lovely and worthy of respect. If anything is excellent or worthy of praise, think about those kinds of things.Do what you have learned or received or heard from me. Follow my example. The God who gives peace will be with you.

Give freely to poor people to show what is inside you. Then everything will be clean for you.

It pleased the Lord to give you success and to cause there to be many of you. But it will please him just as much to wipe you out and destroy you. You will be removed from the land you are entering to take as your own.

Go and enjoy your food. Be joyful as you drink your wine. God has already approved what you do.Always wear white clothes to show you are happy. Anoint your head with olive oil.You love your wife. So enjoy life with her. Do it all the days of this meaningless life God has given you on earth. That’s what he made you for. That’s what you get for all your hard work on earth.

In everything I did, I showed you that we must work hard and help the weak. We must remember the words of the Lord Jesus. He said,‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

You come to help those who enjoy doing what is right. You help those who thank you for teaching them how to live. But when we continued to disobey you, you became angry with us. So how can we be saved?
