If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

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.
