My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

For ye are our glory and joy.

For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;

I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
