We estimate the decay rates of $\eta_c\rightarrow 2\gamma$, $\eta_c'\rightarrow 2\gamma$, and $J/\psi\rightarrow e^+ e^-$, $\psi^\prime\rightarrow e^+e^-$, by taking into account both relativistic and QCD radiative corrections. The decay amplitudes are derived in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. The Bethe-Salpeter equation with a QCD-inspired interquark potential are used to calculate the wave functions and decay widths for these $c\bar{c}$ states. We find that the relativistic correction to the ratio $R\equiv \Gamma (\eta_c \rightarrow 2\gamma)/ \Gamma (J/ \psi \rightarrow e^+ e^-)$ is negative and tends to compensate the positive contribution from the QCD radiative correction. Our estimate gives $\Gamma(\eta_c \rightarrow 2\gamma)=(6-7) ~keV$ and $\Gamma(\eta_c^\prime \rightarrow 2\gamma)=2 ~keV$, which are smaller than their nonrelativistic values. The hadronic widths $\Gamma(\eta_c \rightarrow 2g)=(17-23) ~MeV$ and $\Gamma(\eta_c^\prime \rightarrow 2g)=(5-7)~MeV$ are then indicated accordingly to the first order QCD radiative correction, if $\alpha_s(m_c)=0.26-0.29$. The decay widths for $b\bar b$ states are also estimated. We show that when making the assmption that the quarks are on their mass shells our expressions for the decay widths will become identical with that in the NRQCD theory to the next to leading order of $v^2$ and $\alpha_s$.
