Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.

Wise words bring approval, but fools are destroyed by their own words.

Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? You must have the qualities of salt among yourselves and live in peace with each other.”

Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.

The lips of the wise give good advice; the heart of a fool has none to give.

Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

“ You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.

Listen to the words of the wise; apply your heart to my instruction.For it is good to keep these sayings in your heart and always ready on your lips.

stories we have heard and known, stories our ancestors handed down to us.We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders.

Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me.

The godly offer good counsel; they teach right from wrong.They have made God’s law their own, so they will never slip from his path.

Elisha said,“ Bring me a new bowl with salt in it.” So they brought it to him.Then he went out to the spring that supplied the town with water and threw the salt into it. And he said,“ This is what the Lord says: I have purified this water. It will no longer cause death or infertility.”And the water has remained pure ever since, just as Elisha said.

The words of the godly encourage many, but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense.

I have recited aloud all the regulations you have given us.

I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and faithfulness.

Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.

Watching for their opportunity, the leaders sent spies pretending to be honest men. They tried to get Jesus to say something that could be reported to the Roman governor so he would arrest Jesus.“ Teacher,” they said,“ we know that you speak and teach what is right and are not influenced by what others think. You teach the way of God truthfully.Now tell us— is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”He saw through their trickery and said,“ Show me a Roman coin. Whose picture and title are stamped on it?”“ Caesar’s,” they replied.“ Well then,” he said,“ give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”So they failed to trap him by what he said in front of the people. Instead, they were amazed by his answer, and they became silent.Then Jesus was approached by some Sadducees— religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead.They posed this question:“ Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife but no children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name.Well, suppose there were seven brothers. The oldest one married and then died without children.So the second brother married the widow, but he also died.Then the third brother married her. This continued with all seven of them, who died without children.Finally, the woman also died.So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her!”Jesus replied,“ Marriage is for people here on earth.But in the age to come, those worthy of being raised from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.And they will never die again. In this respect they will be like angels. They are children of God and children of the resurrection.“ But now, as to whether the dead will be raised— even Moses proved this when he wrote about the burning bush. Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, he referred to the Lord as‘ the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’So he is the God of the living, not the dead, for they are all alive to him.”“ Well said, Teacher!” remarked some of the teachers of religious law who were standing there.And then no one dared to ask him any more questions.

I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your saving power, though I am not skilled with words.I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign Lord. I will tell everyone that you alone are just.O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood, and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do.Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me.

Then those who feared the Lord spoke with each other, and the Lord listened to what they said. In his presence, a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared him and always thought about the honor of his name.“ They will be my people,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.“ On the day when I act in judgment, they will be my own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child.Then you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.”

Everyone spoke well of him and was amazed by the gracious words that came from his lips.“ How can this be?” they asked.“ Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”
