A cheerful heart is good medicine, br> but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, br> "Never will I leave you; br> never will I forsake you."
All the days of the oppressed are wretched, br> but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Do not let your heart envy sinners, br> but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD. br> There is surely a future hope for you, br> and your hope will not be cut off.
