The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written uprightly, {\i even} words of truth.\par
because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.\par
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth;\par\tab And a word in due season, how good is it!
I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable;\par\tab But the mouth of the wicked {\i speaketh} perverseness.\par
