- The fear of man proves to be a snare,
but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe. - Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gets understanding. - Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.
- He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,
and speaks truth in his heart;
he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,
nor does evil to his friend,
nor casts slurs against his fellow man. - For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
- Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth.
How good is a word at the right time! - Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come.
- So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
- He who walks blamelessly walks surely,
but he who perverts his ways will be found out. - It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication,
then later to consider his vows. - It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife,
but every fool will be quarreling. - But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.
- Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,
for you reward every man according to his work. - For the customs of the peoples are vanity;
for one cuts a tree out of the forest,
the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
They deck it with silver and with gold.
They fasten it with nails and with hammers,
so that it can’t move.
They are like a palm tree, of turned work,
and don’t speak.
They must be carried,
because they can’t move.
Don’t be afraid of them;
for they can’t do evil,
neither is it in them to do good. - Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.
- Like water reflects a face,
so a man’s heart reflects the man. - God is not a man, that he should lie,
nor a son of man, that he should repent.
Has he said, and he won’t do it?
Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good? - So that with good courage we say,
“The Lord is my helper. I will not fear.
What can man do to me?” - He was despised
and rejected by men,
a man of suffering
and acquainted with disease.
He was despised as one from whom men hide their face;
and we didn’t respect him. - Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.
- Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
- Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator.
- He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth.
- Iron sharpens iron;
so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance. - For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
