Matthew 13:45

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

What will a man profit, if he gains the whole world, and gives up his life? What will a man give in exchange for his life?

But they paid no attention and went about their business. One went to his farm and another went to his trade.

How blessed is the man who finds wisdom. Happy is the man who gains understanding.

Receive my instruction and not silver. Take knowledge rather than choice gold.

Wisdom is more valuable than gems.

Many are saying: Who will show us good? Lift up the light of your countenance (face) (presence) upon us, O Jehovah!

Every man walks about like a vain illusion. He makes a lot of noise over nothing. He hoards riches and does not know who will receive them.

I said of laughter: It is madness. And of pleasure: What does it do?

Vanity of vanities, says the preacher; all is vanity.

Things that offered gain to me I count a loss for Christ.
