Proverbs 23:15

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

For what is my hope, or joy? What is the victor's wreath in which I exult? What but your own selves in the presence of our Lord Jesus, at his coming!

For now I am really living, if you are standing firm in the Lord.

I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.

For I was glad when brothers came and bore testimony to your truth, as indeed you are passing your life in truth.

"'Bring that fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry,

"I have told you these things that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

"And he shall be to you a joy and an exultation, and many shall rejoice over his birth.
