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.
