Jumalattoman työ on turha, vaan joka vanhurskautta kylvää, sillä on hyvä palkka.
19 Those who always do what is right will live [a long/happy life], but those who insist on doing what is wrong will not live [very long].

24 Some people give [their money] generously [to poor people], but they become richer [in spite of that], and some people hold tightly to their money, but they still become poor [in spite of that].
