9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his companion; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he does not have another to help him up.

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if one overpowers him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
