because of the hope reserved for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel

It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost.

Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us,just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word,it seemed fitting to me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in an orderly sequence, most excellent Theophilus;so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.

A person has joy in an apt answer, And how delightful is a timely word!

Evil plans are an abomination to the Lord, But pleasant words are pure.

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

Extend your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your mind to my knowledge;For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, So that they may be ready on your lips.So that your trust may be in the Lord, I have taught you today, you indeed.Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,To make you know the certainty of the words of truth, So that you may correctly answer him who sent you?

Like apples of gold in settings of silver, Is a word spoken at the proper time.Like an earring of gold and a jewelry piece of fine gold, Is a wise person who offers rebukes to a listening ear.

The wise in heart will be called understanding, And sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, But the discipline of fools is foolishness.The heart of the wise instructs his mouth And adds persuasiveness to his lips.Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:To know wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of understanding,To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice, and integrity;To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion,A wise person will hear and increase in learning, And a person of understanding will acquire wise counsel,To understand a proverb and a saying, The words of the wise and their riddles.

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you people do not accept our testimony.

Listen, for I will speak noble things; And the opening of my lips will reveal right things.For my mouth will proclaim truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverted in them.They are all straightforward to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge.Accept my instruction and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold.

I, the Preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.
