- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Behold, blessed is the one whom God reproves;
therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty. - The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. - No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
- Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
- Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.
- My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights. - He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not. - A fool despises his father's instruction,
but whoever heeds reproof is prudent. - God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
- Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life;
he who despises his ways will die.
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.Next verse!With image
