My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and do not forsake the law of thy mother. Bind them continually upon thy heart. Tie them about thy neck. When thou walk, it shall lead thee. When thou sleep, it shall watch over thee. And when thou awake, it shall talk with thee. read more.
For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,











The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened [by] the masters of assemblies. They have been given from one shepherd.


Take firm hold of instruction. Do not let her go. Keep her, for she is thy life.










The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me. Give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments. Those who fear thee shall see me and be glad, because I have hoped in thy word. read more.
I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness thou have afflicted me.

What will we say then? The law is sin? May it not happen! Yet I did not know sin except through law. For likewise I would not have known lust, if the law did not say, Thou shall not covet. But sin, having taken opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me every evil desire, for apart from law sin is dead. And I was alive once apart from law, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. read more.
And I found to me, the commandment being for life, this is for death. For sin, having taken opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. Has therefore what is good become death to me? May it not happen! Instead, it is sin, so that it might be revealed, sin working death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful to extreme. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, having been sold under sin. For I do not understand what I do, for I do not do this that I want, but what I hate, this I do. But if I do this that I do not want, I agree with the law that it is good.

Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the seed would come to whom it was promised, which was arranged through heavenly agents in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not of one, but God is one. Is the law therefore against the promises of God? May it not happen! For if a law was given that could make alive, truly righteousness would be from law. read more.
But scripture confined all things under sin, so that the promise from faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came we were kept in custody under law, having been confined for faith that was going to be revealed. So that the law became our schoolmaster for Christ, so that we might be made righteous from faith. But faith having come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ. There is no Jew nor Greek, there is no bondman nor freeman, there is no male and female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye are Christ's, then ye are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.



Take firm hold of instruction. Do not let her go. Keep her, for she is thy life.

It is the spirit that makes alive. The flesh benefits nothing. The sayings that I speak to you are spirit, are life. Nevertheless, there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who do not believe, and who he is who will betray him.







And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel. And he said to them, Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you this day, which ye shall command your sons to observe to do, [even] all the words of this law. For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land where ye go over the Jordan to possess it.



My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and do not forsake the law of thy mother. Bind them continually upon thy heart. Tie them about thy neck. When thou walk, it shall lead thee. When thou sleep, it shall watch over thee. And when thou awake, it shall talk with thee. read more.

For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense. But the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

And we have such confidence toward God through Christ, not that we are sufficient of ourselves to reckon anything as from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us qualified helpers of a new covenant, not of a document, but of a spirit, for the document kills but the spirit makes alive.




But all things exposed are revealed by the light, for everything that is seen is light.
