- For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
- But godliness with contentment is great gain.
- For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
- Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,
and not to covetousness. - So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. - For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
- And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
- He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
- Labour not to be rich:
cease from thine own wisdom. - A man's pride shall bring him low:
but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. - Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and the man that getteth understanding. - Better is a little with righteousness
than great revenues without right. - Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not;
neither decline from the words of my mouth. - The wicked worketh a deceitful work:
but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. - When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
- But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint. - Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:
bind them about thy neck;
write them upon the table of thine heart:
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding
in the sight of God and man. - For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them:
but thy right hand, and thine arm,
and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. - For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
- And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:
but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. My flesh and my heart faileth:
but God is the strength of my heart,
and my portion for ever.Next verse!With image
