22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”—

1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake…

15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.

3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

13 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

12 I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, 13 and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.
