- Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
- Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
for riches certainly make themselves wings;
they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. - Though an host should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident. - Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
- For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.
- Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
- But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
- And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
- A fool's wrath is presently known:
but a prudent man covereth shame. - Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
- It is an honour for a man to cease from strife:
but every fool will be meddling. - For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
- The rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and as an high wall in his own conceit. - Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
- He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law,
even his prayer shall be abomination. - But let judgment run down as waters,
and righteousness as a mighty stream. - For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
- But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.
- Lying lips are abomination to the Lord:
but they that deal truly are his delight. - A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
- Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
- He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. - Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,
sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. - House and riches are the inheritance of fathers:
and a prudent wife is from the Lord. - And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
I will praise thee with uprightness of heart,
when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious;
but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
