^7 (A)Again, I saw vanity under the sun: ⁸ one person who has no other, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his ^(B)eyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, ^(C)“For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity and an unhappy ^(D)business.

⁹ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. ¹⁰ For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! ¹¹ Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, ^(E)but how can one keep warm alone? ¹² And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

^16 (A)The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, then ^(B)heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(C)provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

²⁰ “I do not ^(A)ask for these only, but also for those ^(B)who will believe in me through their word, ^21 (C)that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that ^(D)they also may be in ^(E)us, so that the world ^(F)may believe that you have sent me. ^22 (G)The glory that you have given me ^(H)I have given to them, ^(I)that they may be one even as we are one,

¹⁹ So then you are no longer ^(A)strangers and aliens,^[a] but you are ^(B)fellow citizens with the saints and ^(C)members of the household of God, ^20 (D)built on the foundation of the ^(E)apostles and prophets, ^(F)Christ Jesus himself being ^(G)the cornerstone, ^21 (H)in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^(I)a holy temple in the Lord. ²² In him ^(J)you also are being built together ^(K)into a dwelling place for God by^[b] the Spirit.
