But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish ones speak. Shall we indeed receive good from God, and shall we not accept adversity? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Yet they say to the Mighty God, Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.

Who is there even among you that will shut the doors, so that you not kindle fire on My altar in vain? I have no pleasure in you, says Jehovah of Hosts, nor will I accept a food offering from your hand.

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.
