AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ecclesiastes 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad (deep in thought) the heart may be happy [because it is growing in wisdom]. [2 Cor 7:10] |
Bible Question (short): context please?? |
Question (full): I know that both sorrow and joy are mixed in the lives of christians, and I've now read all of these verses in context. Although, i think that i did not correctly phrase my previous question. I am more concerned with the context of Ecclesiastes 7:3-4. I know that James 4:9 is talking about repentance, and James 1:2 is talking about trials, and that Romans 12:15 is talking about carring for and fellowship with others. What exactly is Ecc. 7:3-4 actually refering to?? |
