The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother. Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivers from death. Jehovah will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry; but He casts away the desire of the wicked.read more.
He who deals with a lazy hand becomes poor; but the hand of the hard worker makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a wise son; but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame. Blessings are on the head of the just; but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the just is blessed; but the name of the wicked shall rot. The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a babbling fool shall fall. He who walks uprightly walks surely; but he who twists his ways shall be known. He who winks the eye causes sorrow; but a babbling fool shall fall. The mouth of a righteous one is a well of life; but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. Hatred stirs up fights, but love covers all sins. In the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him who is without understanding. Wise ones store up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin. The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty. The labor of the righteous tends to life; the fruit of the wicked tends to sin. He who keeps instruction is in the way of life; but he who refuses reproof goes astray. He who hides hatred with lying lips, and he who speaks a slander, is a fool. In the multitude of words, sin is not lacking; but he who holds back his lips is wise. The tongue of the just is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is worth little. The lips of the righteous feed many; but fools die for lack of wisdom. The blessing of Jehovah itself makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. To work out evil devices is as laughter to a fool; so wisdom is to a man of understanding. What the wicked fears shall come upon him; but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. As the storm passes, so the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. Like vinegar to the teeth, and like smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him. The fear of Jehovah prolongs days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. The hope of the righteous is gladness; but the hope of the wicked shall perish. The way of Jehovah is strength to the upright; but ruin is to the workers of iniquity. The righteous shall never be moved; and the wicked shall not live in the earth. The mouth of the just brings forth wisdom; but the perverse tongue shall be cut out.

You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not kill" --and, "Whoever shall kill shall be liable to the judgment."

And whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrin; but whoever shall say, Fool! shall be liable to be thrown into the fire of hell. Therefore if you offer your gift on the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,read more.

because by the works of the Law none of all flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law is the knowledge of sin.

not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

We Jews by nature, and not sinners of the nations, knowing that a man is not justified by works of the Law, but through faith in Jesus Christ; even we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ, and not by works of the Law. For all flesh will not be justified by works of law.

My brothers, what profit is it if a man says he has faith and does not have works? Can faith save him?

Even so, if it does not have works, faith is dead, being by itself. But someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith from my works. You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.

But also in this very thing, bringing in all diligence, filling out your faith with virtue, and with virtue, knowledge; and with knowledge self-control, and with self-control, patience, and with patience, godliness, and with godliness, brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness, love.read more.
For if these things are in you and abound, they make you to be neither idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he in whom these things are not present is blind and cannot see afar off and has forgotten that he was purged from his sins in the past. Therefore, brothers, rather be diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things, you shall never fall. For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.read more.
Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.

For a good tree does not bring forth corrupt fruit, neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good. And an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth the evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock. And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. And it did not fall, for it was founded on a rock.

Whoever comes to Me and hears My Words, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like. He is like a man who built a house and dug deep and laid the foundation on a rock; and a flood occurring, the stream burst against that house and could not shake it; for it was founded on a rock.

If you love Me, keep My commandments.

If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Likewise count yourselves also to be truly dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. Do not yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God, as one alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.read more.
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace.

Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

I say, then, Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

For you ought to put off the old man (according to your way of living before) who is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And you should put on the new man, who according to God was created in righteousness and true holiness.

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

You are all the sons of light and the sons of the day. We are not of the night, or of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be calm. For those sleeping sleep in the night, and those being drunken are drunken in the night.read more.
But let us, who are of the day, be calm, having put on the breastplate of faith and love and the hope of salvation for a helmet.
