A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill? He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son is an affliction to his mother. Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death. Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.read more.
Poor is he who is working -- a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich. Whoso is gathering in summer is a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest is a son causing shame. Blessings are for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence. The remembrance of the righteous is for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot. The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh. Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known. Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh. A fountain of life is the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence. Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth. In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod is for the back of him who is lacking understanding. The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool is near ruin. The wealth of the rich is his strong city, The ruin of the poor is their poverty. The wage of the righteous is for life, The increase of the wicked for sin. A traveller to life is he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring. Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool. In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips is wise. The tongue of the righteous is chosen silver, The heart of the wicked -- as a little thing. The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die. The blessing of Jehovah -- it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it. To execute inventions is as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding. The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given. As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during. As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So is the slothful to those sending him. The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the wicked are shortened. The hope of the righteous is joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perisheth. The way of Jehovah is strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity. The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth. The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out.

'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the judgment; but I -- I say to you, that every one who is angry at his brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Empty fellow! shall be in danger of the sanhedrim, and whoever may say, Rebel! shall be in danger of the gehenna of the fire. 'If, therefore, thou mayest bring thy gift to the altar, and there mayest remember that thy brother hath anything against thee,read more.
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go -- first be reconciled to thy brother, and then having come bring thy gift.

wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

(not by works that are in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,

we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations, having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift, not of works, that no one may boast;

not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ -- the righteousness that is of God by the faith,

What is the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him? and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food, and any one of you may say to them, 'Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what is the profit?read more.
so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself. But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith: thou -- thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder!

And this same also -- all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge, and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety, and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;read more.
for these things being to you and abounding, do make you neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ, for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins; wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble, for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

From their fruits ye shall know them; do men gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs? so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits. A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.read more.
Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast to fire: therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.

'For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making good fruit; for each tree from its own fruit is known, for not from thorns do they gather figs, nor from a bramble do they crop a grape. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which is evil; for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth speak.

'Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock; and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.

Every one who is coming unto me, and is hearing my words, and is doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like; he is like to a man building a house, who did dig, and deepen, and laid a foundation upon the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.

'If ye love me, my commands keep,

if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires; neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;read more.
for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still live in it?

And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;

ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit, and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.

If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated,

all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness, so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober, for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,read more.
and we, being of the day -- let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet -- a hope of salvation,
