"Everything is meaningless, completely meaningless.
Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied.
No matter how much we hear, we are not content. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
I observed everything going on under the sun, and really, it is all meaningless—like chasing the wind."

A faithful person will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.
The stingy are eager to get rich, and are unaware that poverty awaits them.

"I have heard many things like these; you are miserable comforters, all of you! Won’t you ever stop blowing hot air? What makes you keep on talking? I could say the same things if you were in my place. I could spout off criticism and shake my head at you.
But if it were me, I would encourage you. I would try to take away your grief."

25:9-10
When arguing with your neighbor, don’t betray another person’s secret.
Others may accuse you of gossip, and you will never regain your good reputation.

27:5-6, 17
An open rebuke is better than hidden love.
Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.
As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

"He has put my brothers far from me, and those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.
My relatives have failed me, my close friends have forgotten me."

7:3-5
"O LORD my God, if I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice,
if I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy without cause,
then let my enemies capture me. Let them trample me into the ground,
and drag my honor in the dust."

88:6-8
"You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
Your wrath lies heavily on me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.
You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them."

Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, the LORD has forgotten me.”
Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Then he said to them all: Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?

14:6-7
I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.

15:18-19
If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

5:3-4
We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

5:6-8
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

12:21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

2:3-9
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name.

3:8
Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ.

Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.

So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin. You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God. You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy—their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.

Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you. But remember that they will have to face God, who stands ready to judge everyone, both the living and the dead.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.

The most important claim made by Christianity - An entire playlist on the case for Jesus' resurrection. This is the core of Christianity; if this is disproved, then the rest of it is just a deck of cards. No other religion has as much historical backing like this, especially with the Old Testament indirectly predicting the event.
