Man’s State in Death, June 18 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6. {FLB 175.1}

For de levende ved, at de skal dø, men de døde ved ingenting! De har ingen løn, for deres navn er gået i glemme. Både deres kærlighed, deres had og deres misundelse er allerede gået til grunde; de får i al fremtid ikke del i noget af det, der sker under solen. -Præd. 9,5.6 -
