and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! - He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. - A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,

and a poor man is better than a liar. - Better is little with the fear of the Lord
than great treasure and trouble therewith. - Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.As for God, his way is perfect:
the word of the Lord is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.Next verse!With image
