7 I observed yet another example of something meaningless under the sun.
8 This is the case of a man who is all alone,
without a child or a brother,
yet who works hard to gain as much wealth as he can.
But then he asks himself,
"Who am I working for?
Why am I giving up so much pleasure now?"
It is all so meaningless and depressing.
9 Two people are better off than one,
for they can help each other succeed.
10 If one person falls,
the other can reach out and help.
But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.
11 Likewise, two people lying close together in bed can keep each other warm.
But how can one be warm alone?
12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated,
but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.
Three are even better,
for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
1 Corinthians
17 Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 He will keep you strong to the end
so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
9 God will do this,
for he is faithful to do what he says,
and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
