傳道書 2:24
- 26
A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God,
for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?
To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
人莫強如吃喝，且在勞碌中享福，我看這也是出於神的手。
論到吃用、享福，誰能勝過我呢？
神喜悅誰，就給誰智慧、知識，和喜樂；惟有罪人，神使他勞苦，叫他將所收聚的、所堆積的歸給神所喜悅的人。這也是虛空，也是捕風。
箴言 19:15
Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless go hungry.
懶惰使人沉睡；懈怠的人必受飢餓。
傳道書 9:10
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
凡你手所當做的事要盡力去做；因為在你所必去的陰間沒有工作，沒有謀算，沒有知識，也沒有智慧。
提摩太後書 2:22
Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
你要逃避少年的私慾，同那清心禱告主的人追求公義、信德、仁愛、和平。
提摩太後書 2:15
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
你當竭力在神面前得蒙喜悅，作無愧的工人，按著正意分解真理的道。
