"Labor is Beneficial When Its Rewards Are Shared Two people are better than one, because they can reap more benefit from their labor."
— Ecclesiastes 4:9, NET Bible
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.”
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. ”
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.”
“It is better therefore that two should be together, than one: for they have the advantage of their society:”
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their work.”
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.”
Better is one handful with some rest than two hands full of toil and chasing the wind.
Labor Motivated by Greed So I again considered another futile thing on earth:
A man who is all alone with no companion, he has no children nor siblings; yet there is no end to all his toil, and he is never satisfied with riches. He laments,“For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is futile and a burdensome task!
Labor is Beneficial When Its Rewards Are Shared Two people are better than one, because they can reap more benefit from their labor.
For if they fall, one will help his companion up, but pity the person who falls down and has no one to help him up.
Furthermore, if two lie down together, they can keep each other warm, but how can one person keep warm by himself?
Although an assailant may overpower one person, two can withstand him. Moreover, a three-stranded cord is not quickly broken.
