Hi!

You can also said in french: "Tout arrive pour quelque chose" if you don't want use the word "raison".

But I think the best translation is: "Rien n'arrive sans raison". You should translate this by: "Nothing happens without reason". If you want absolutely keep your origin sentence, your first translation is good.

I'd go with "Il y a une raison pour toute chose" or "Rien n'arrive par hasard" as an alternative to your last translation.
