- Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding. - Get wisdom! Get understanding!
Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. - How much better to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. - And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
- Do not overwork to be rich;
Because of your own understanding, cease! - The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,
But the poor does not hear rebuke. - The wicked man does deceptive work,
But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward. - But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.
- So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom. - Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding. - He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps understanding will find good. - And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.
- The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself. - Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.
- You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
- Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
- Direct my steps by Your word,
And let no iniquity have dominion over me. - Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.
- Do not turn to the right or the left;
Remove your foot from evil. - But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
- Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
- But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
- Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy. - A fool’s lips enter into contention,
And his mouth calls for blows. - He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil.He who walks with integrity walks securely,
But he who perverts his ways will become known. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.Next verse!With image
