This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance:“ Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”– and I am the worst of them!

Now many have undertaken to compile an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,like the accounts passed on to us by those who were eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning.So it seemed good to me as well, because I have followed all things carefully from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,so that you may know for certain the things you were taught.

A person has joy in giving an appropriate answer, and a word at the right time– how good it is!

The LORD abhors the plans of the wicked, but pleasant words are pure.

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

Incline your ear and listen to the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my instruction.For it is pleasing if you keep these sayings within you, and they are ready on your lips.So that your confidence may be in the LORD, I am making them known to you today– even you.Have I not written thirty sayings for you, sayings of counsel and knowledge,to show you true and reliable words, so that you may give accurate answers to those who sent you?

Like apples of gold in settings of silver, so is a word skillfully spoken.Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to the ear of the one who listens.

The one who is wise in heart is called discerning, and kind speech increases persuasiveness.Insight is like a life-giving fountain to the one who possesses it, but folly leads to the discipline of fools.A wise person’s heart makes his speech wise and it adds persuasiveness to his words.Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

The Proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:To learn wisdom and moral instruction, and to discern wise counsel.To receive moral instruction in skillful living, in righteousness, justice, and equity.To impart shrewdness to the morally naive, and a discerning plan to the young person.( Let the wise also hear and gain instruction, and let the discerning acquire guidance!)To discern the meaning of a proverb and a parable, the sayings of the wise and their riddles.

I tell you the solemn truth, we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony.

Listen, for I will speak excellent things, and my lips will utter what is right.For my mouth speaks truth, and my lips hate wickedness.All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing in them twisted or crooked.All of them are clear to the discerning and upright to those who find knowledge.Receive my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.

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