Proverbs 1:29

but there is need of one thing: for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her.

For every one doing evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, in order that his works may not be convicted;

Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye.

choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season;

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

For every one doing evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, in order that his works may not be convicted;

Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye.

but there is need of one thing: for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her.

choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season;

And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
