Proverbs 14:12

For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

“Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.

This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts.

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

For I say through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.

Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men, extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

In those days there was no king in Israel. In those days the tribe of the Danites sought an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.

In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.

Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.

Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.

Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.

‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

“Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

You shall not do all the things that we do here today, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;

He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.

that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:

Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.

All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Yahweh weighs the motives.

“Yet you said, ‘I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.’ “Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.

Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?

“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.

But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.

Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.

In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

Then Micah said, “Now I know that Yahweh will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.”

In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.

Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
