11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

14 The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts.

5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother; 9 For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck.

5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

1 Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

26 Help me, O Lord my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy,

20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. 21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

27 He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.
