A THREEFOLD CORD
ECCLESIASTES 4:8-12 THERE IS ONE ALONE, AND THERE IS NOT A SECOND; YEA, HE HATH NEITHER CHILD NOR BROTHER: YET IS THERE NO END OF ALL HIS LABOUR; NEITHER IS HIS EYE SATISFIED WITH RICHES; NEITHER SAITH HE, FOR WHOM DO I LABOUR, AND BEREAVE MY SOUL OF GOOD? THIS IS ALSO VANITY, YEA, IT IS A SORE TRAVAIL TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE; BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GOOD REWARD FOR THEIR LABOUR. FOR IF THEY FALL, THE ONE WILL LIFT UP HIS FELLOW: BUT WOE TO HIM THAT IS ALONE WHEN HE FALLETH; FOR HE HATH NOT ANOTHER TO HELP HIM UP. AGAIN, IF TWO LIE TOGETHER, THEN THEY HAVE HEAT: BUT HOW CAN ONE BE WARM ALONE? AND IF ONE PREVAIL AGAINST HIM, TWO SHALL WITHSTAND HIM; AND A THREEFOLD CORD IS NOT QUICKLY BROKEN. love
