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

我知道世人，莫强如终身喜乐行善；

我知道，人除了终身喜乐纳福，没有一件幸福的事。

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

People should be happy and do good while they live. I know there’s nothing better for them to do than that.

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

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 know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives,

I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live.

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

I know that[ there is] no good in them, but for[ a man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

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

I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.

So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is our lot in life. And no one can bring us back to see what happens after we die.

Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.

See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.Always be joyful.

Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again— rejoice!Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me— everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

So clean the inside by giving gifts to the poor, and you will be clean all over.

“ Just as the Lord has found great pleasure in causing you to prosper and multiply, the Lord will find pleasure in destroying you. You will be torn from the land you are about to enter and occupy.

So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this!Wear fine clothes, with a splash of cologne!Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil.

And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus:‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

You welcome those who gladly do good, who follow godly ways. But you have been very angry with us, for we are not godly. We are constant sinners; how can people like us be saved?
