New Testament

Ecclesiastes 4:9-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

9. Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.

10. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up.

11. Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?

12. And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

13. Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.

14. For out of prison he came forth to be king; yea, even in his kingdom he was born poor.

15. I saw all the living that walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the second, that stood up in his stead.
