- This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
- He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die. - 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?
- Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise.
When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning. - Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him.
Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who makes wicked plots happen. - A fool vents all of his anger,
but a wise man brings himself under control. - But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
- A fool shows his annoyance the same day,
but one who overlooks an insult is prudent. - Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
- Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
- Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
- For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
- I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live. Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.
- Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
- You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace,
because he trusts in you. - Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be filled. - A fool has no delight in understanding,
but only in revealing his own opinion. - For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.
- The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.
- The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
- Then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment.
- The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,
but the poor hear no threats. - Don’t envy the man of violence.
Choose none of his ways.
For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh,
but his friendship is with the upright. - For,
“He who would love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from speaking deceit.
Let him turn away from evil and do good.
Let him seek peace and pursue it.” - Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.
