- 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.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.Next verse!With image
