Ecclesiastes 2:26

2:26 For to the one who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy,

but to the sinner, he gives the task of amassing wealth –

only to give it to the one who pleases God.

This task of the wicked is futile – like chasing the wind!

Acts 3:19

3:19 Therefore repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped out,

10:31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your acts of charity have been remembered before God.

10:2 He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was all his household; he did many acts of charity for the people and prayed to God regularly.

2:17 these are only the shadow of the things to come, but the reality is Christ!

2:1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those who have not met me face to face.

2:3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

13:21 equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
