We hear that some are conducting themselves among you in a disorderly way, by not keeping busy but minding the business of others.  Such people we instruct and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and to eat their own food.  But you, brothers, do not be remiss in doing good.

But whence can wisdom be obtained, and where is the place of understanding?  Man knows nothing to equal it, nor is it to be had in the land of the living.  Solid gold cannot purchase it, nor can its price be paid with silver.  It cannot be bought with gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx or the sapphire.  Gold or crystal cannot equal it, nor can golden vessels reach its worth.  Neither coral nor jasper should be thought of; it surpasses pearls and Arabian topaz.

Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen.

To the one who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished and exultant, in the presence of his glory, to the only God, our savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord be glory, majesty, power, and authority from ages past, now, and for ages to come.  Amen.

You have been told, O man, what is good, and what the LORD requires of you:  Only to do the right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God.

The mouths of the just utter wisdom; their tongues speak what is right.  God’s teaching is in their hearts; their steps do not falter.

Do not be provoked by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong.  Like grass they wither quickly; like green plants they wilt away.

The LORD will make you the head, not the tail, and you will always mount higher and not decline, as long as you obey the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I order you today to observe carefully
