- Pride only breeds quarrels,
but wisdom is with people who take advice. - Yahweh God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
- For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
- But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
- For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
- Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
- Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord.
- Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us.
Establish the work of our hands for us.
Yes, establish the work of our hands. - You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
- Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
- A man’s heart plans his course,
but Yahweh directs his steps. - You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
- Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning,
for I trust in you.
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
for I lift up my soul to you. - But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving.
I will pay that which I have vowed.
Salvation belongs to Yahweh. - As sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
- There are many plans in a man’s heart,
but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail. - Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
- As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.
- He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
- A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger. - For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
- Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
- But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and we have given you of your own.
- For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established; that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
- Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting, not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
