But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery ….  Read More

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit ….  Read More

For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. 13 Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, 14 knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. 15 Moreover I will be ….  Read More

A man who wanders from the way of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead. 17 He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich. 18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the unfaithful for the upright. 19 Better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious ….  Read More

The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes. 2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts. 3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. 4 A haughty look, a proud heart, and the ploughing of the wicked are sin. 5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to ….  Read More

There is gold and a multitude of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. 16 Take the garment of one who is surety for a stranger, and hold it as a pledge when it is for a seductress. 17 Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel. 18 Plans are established by counsel; by ….  Read More

“A man’s steps are of the Lord; how then can a man understand his own way?” Proverbs chapter 20 verse 24. Proverbs chapter 20 verses 1-14 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise. 2 The wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion; whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life. 3 It ….  Read More

Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have [obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through ….  Read More

The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: 2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, ….  Read More

Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.  14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the ….  Read More
