Proverbs 16Proverbs 17Galatians 6Proverbs 16
1
The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, [is] from the LORD.
2
All the ways of a man [are] clean in his own eyes but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
3
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4
The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5
Every one [that is] proud in heart [is] an abomination to the LORD: [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD [men] depart from evil.
7
When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8
Better [is] a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
10
A divine sentence [is] in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11
A just weight and balance [are] the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag [are] his work.
12
[It is] an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13
Righteous lips [are] the delight of kings and they love him that speaketh right.
14
The wrath of a king [is as] messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15
In the light of the king's countenance [is] life and his favour [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.
16
How much better [is it] to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17
The highway of the upright [is] to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18
Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19
Better [it is to be] of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20
He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy [is] he.
21
The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22
Understanding [is] a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools [is] folly.
23
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24
Pleasant words [are as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.
26
He that laboureth laboureth for himself for his mouth craveth it of him.
27
An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips [there is] as a burning fire.
28
A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29
A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way [that is] not good.
30
He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31
The hoary head [is] a crown of glory, [if] it be found in the way of righteousness.
32
[He that is] slow to anger [is] better than the mighty and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33
The lot is cast into the lap but the whole disposing thereof [is] of the LORD.
Proverbs 17
1
Better [is] a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices [with] strife.
2
A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
3
The fining pot [is] for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
4
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips [and] a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
5
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: [and] he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
6
Children's children [are] the crown of old men and the glory of children [are] their fathers.
7
Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
8
A gift [is as] a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love but he that repeateth a matter separateth [very] friends.
10
A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
11
An evil [man] seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
13
Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14
The beginning of strife [is as] when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
15
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD.
16
Wherefore [is there] a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing [he hath] no heart [to it]?
17
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18
A man void of understanding striketh hands, [and] becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
19
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: [and] he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
20
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21
He that begetteth a fool [doeth it] to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
22
A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
23
A wicked [man] taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
24
Wisdom [is] before him that hath understanding but the eyes of a fool [are] in the ends of the earth.
25
A foolish son [is] a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
26
Also to punish the just [is] not good, [nor] to strike princes for equity.
27
He that hath knowledge spareth his words: [and] a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
28
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: [and] he that shutteth his lips [is esteemed] a man of understanding.
Galatians 6
1
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4
But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5
For every man shall bear his own burden.
6
Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7
Be not deceived God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
11
Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
12
As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13
For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace [be] on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17
From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18
Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen. <<[To [the] Galatians written from Rome.]>>
