Proverbs 1:29

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

For every one that does evil hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved;

Stiff necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always fight against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, you also do.

choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to have an enjoyment of sin for a time,

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

For every one that does evil hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved;

Stiff necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always fight against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, you also do.

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

choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to have an enjoyment of sin for a time,

and the light shone in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
