The Christian Standard Bible aims to draw readers into a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. By translating Scripture into the clearest possible modern English, the CSB allows readers to experience God’s Word at its fullest. Developed by 100 scholars from 17 denominations, the Christian Standard Bible faithfully and accurately captures the Bible’s original meaning without compromising readability. The CSB was created using Optimal Equivalence, a translation philosophy that balances linguistic precision to the original languages and readability in contemporary English. In the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for- word rendering is clearly understandable, a literal translation is used. When a word- for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, a more dynamic translation is used. This process assures that both the words and thoughts contained in the original text are conveyed as accurately as possible for today’s readers. The CSB provides a highly accurate text for sermon preparation and serious study, translated from the biblical languages by scholars who love God’s Word. Yet it doesn’t compromise readability and clarity for those who may be less familiar with the traditional (and sometimes difficult) vocabulary retained in some translations. Research shows the CSB is both highly literal to the original languages and highly readable, achieving an optimal balance of the two. Pastors and laypeople can read and share the Christian Standard Bible with confidence, knowing truth of God’s Word will be communicated effectively. For a more information, visit CSBible.com

There is an occasion for everything,
and a time for every activity under heaven: 
a time to give birth and a time to die; 
a time to plant and a time to uproot; 
a time to kill and a time to heal;
a time to tear down and a time to build;
a time to weep and a time to laugh; 
a time to mourn and a time to dance; 
a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; 
a time to embrace and a time to avoid embracing; 
a time to search and a time to count as lost;
a time to keep and a time to throw away;
a time to tear and a time to sew;
a time to be silent and a time to speak; 
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace. 

What does the worker gain from his struggles?  I have seen the task that God has given the children of Adam to keep them occupied.  He has made everything appropriate  in its time.  He has also put eternity in their hearts,  but no one can discover the work God has done from beginning to end.  I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and enjoy the  good life. It is also the gift of God whenever anyone eats, drinks, and enjoys all his efforts.  I know that everything God does will last forever; there is no adding to it or taking from it.  God works so that people will be in awe of him.  Whatever is, has already been,  and whatever will be, already is. However, God seeks justice for the persecuted. 

I also observed under the sun: there is wickedness at the place of judgment and there is wickedness at the place of righteousness.  I said to myself, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked,  since there is a time for every activity and every work.”  I said to myself, “This happens so that God may test the children of Adam and they may see for themselves that they are like animals.”  For the fate of the children of Adam and the fate of animals is the same.  As one dies, so dies the other; they all have the same breath. People have no advantage over animals since everything is futile. All are going to the same place; all come from dust, and all return to dust.  Who knows if the spirits of the children of Adam go upward and the spirits of animals go downward to the earth? I have seen that there is nothing better than for a person to enjoy his activities  because that is his reward. For who can enable him to see what will happen after he dies?  ,
