- In all labor there is profit,
But mere talk leads only to poverty. - The Lord is my shepherd,
I will not be in need.
He lets me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters. - Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
- God makes a home for the lonely;
He leads out the prisoners into prosperity,
Only the rebellious live in parched lands. - The Lord is good and upright;
Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in justice,
And He teaches the humble His way. - For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
- There is a way which seems right to a person,
But its end is the way of death. - One who is on the path of life follows instruction,
But one who ignores a rebuke goes astray. - When pride comes, then comes dishonor;
But with the humble there is wisdom. - Through overconfidence comes nothing but strife,
But wisdom is with those who receive counsel. - For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.
- But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.
- When there are many words, wrongdoing is unavoidable,
But one who restrains his lips is wise. - One who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But one who is careless of conduct will die. - But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
- One who walks in integrity walks securely,
But one who perverts his ways will be found out. - Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
- One who walks with integrity, practices righteousness,
And speaks truth in his heart.
He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor do evil to his neighbor,
Nor bring shame on his friend. - Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
- They will no longer hunger nor thirst, nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.
A prudent person sees evil and hides himself;
But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty. But as for you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.Next verse!With image
