For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

This[ is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word[ spoken] in due season, how good[ is it]!

The thoughts of the wicked[ are] an abomination to the LORD: but[ the words] of the pure[ are] pleasant words.

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.For[ it is] a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?

A word fitly spoken[ is like] apples of gold in pictures of silver.[ As] an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,[ so is] a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.Understanding[ is] a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools[ is] folly.The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.Pleasant words[ are as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.A wise[ man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips[ shall be] right things.For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness[ is] an abomination to my lips.All the words of my mouth[ are] in righteousness;[ there is] nothing froward or perverse in them.They[ are] all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
