Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners— of whom I am the worst.

Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word!

The Lord detests the thoughts of the wicked, but gracious words are pure in his sight.

The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:

Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach,for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips.So that your trust may be in the Lord, I teach you today, even you.Have I not written thirty sayings for you, sayings of counsel and knowledge,teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth, so that you bring back truthful reports to those you serve?

Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a ruling rightly given.Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.

The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction.Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools.The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction.Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight;for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair;for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young—let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance—for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.

Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.

Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge.Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold,

I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
