because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

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

Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us,just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us,it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus,that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed.

A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!

The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, But the words of the pure are pleasant.

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

Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge;For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips,So that your trust may be in the Lord; I have instructed you today, even you.Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, That you may answer words of truth To those who send to you?

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver.Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.

The wise in heart will be called prudent, And sweetness of the lips increases learning.Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it. But the correction of fools is folly.The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, And adds learning to his lips.Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness 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, judgment, and equity;To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion—A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles.

Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.

Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, And from the opening of my lips will come right things;For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.All the words of my mouth are with righteousness; Nothing crooked or perverse is in them.They are all plain to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge.Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;

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