but humility goes before honor. - Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - The wise of heart will heed commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin. - Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh.
- The heart is devious above all else;
it is perverse—
who can understand it?
I the Lord test the mind
and search the heart,
to give to all according to their ways,
according to the fruit of their doings. - Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path. - You have the fringe so that, when you see it, you will remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and not follow the lust of your own heart and your own eyes.
- Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
yet I will be confident. - The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is clear,
enlightening the eyes. - Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
- When I fed them, they were satisfied;
they were satisfied, and their heart was proud;
therefore they forgot me. - Good and upright is the Lord;

and teaches the humble his way. - Shun youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
- The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
the mind of the wicked is of little worth. - Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common.

- He said to them, “Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile,
since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) - You may say to yourself, “How can we recognize a word that the Lord has not spoken?” If a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord but the thing does not take place or prove true, it is a word that the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; do not be frightened by it.
- You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
- But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the human heart conceived,
what God has prepared for those who love him” - And let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water.’
- Because sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the human heart is fully set to do evil.

and the orphan who had no helper.

and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. - No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made him known.
