- A wealthy man pays a ransom to save his life;
a poor man never has to worry about such threats. - As iron sharpens iron,
so a man sharpens the wits of his neighbor. - Jesus answered, “As it is written:
‘Man does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.’ ” - The fear of others will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is secure. - In my anguish I cried out;
the Lord heard my plea,
and I was saved from all my troubles. - A perverse man sows strife,
and a tale-bearer destroys close friendships. - What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his very life?
- I, I alone, am the one who comforts you.
Why then do you fear mortal men who must die,
human beings who must perish like grass? - But from the very beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one flesh.’ And so they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.
- A fool gives free rein to his anger,
but a wise man bides his time and calms it. - With the Lord to protect me I am not afraid.
What can mortals do to me? - A good man produces good from the store of goodness in his heart, whereas an evil man produces evil from the store of evil within him. For the mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart.
- There is a way that seems right to a man,
but the end of it leads to death. - A man’s attraction is his kindness;
it is far better to be poor than to be a liar. - A man is haughty until disaster overtakes him,
but humility comes before honors. - So if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out there. If they say, ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For just as lightning comes from the east and is visible even in the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
- The Lord God made clothing for the man and woman out of animal skins and he clothed them.
- What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his very life? Or what can he give in exchange for his life?
- He brought you low, allowing you to suffer from hunger. He then fed you with manna, something with which your fathers were not familiar, so that you might come to know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the Lord.
- Or can a man walk on red-hot coals
without scorching his feet? - A man is joyful when he utters apt answers,
and even more satisfying is a word in season. - Alleluia.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in his precepts. - A patient man shows good sense,
but a quick-tempered man displays the height of folly. - He replied, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’ and said: ‘That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one flesh’? And so they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
- Thus you could understand that the Lord, your God, was disciplining you, just like a father disciplines his son.
