Proverbs 4:6

Good News Translation

Do not abandon wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will keep you safe.

See the chapter Copy

My child, hold on to your wisdom and insight. Never let them get away from you.

I love those who love me; whoever looks for me can find me.

and I pray that Christ will make his home in your hearts through faith. I pray that you may have your roots and foundation in love,

and use every kind of wicked deceit on those who will perish. They will perish because they did not welcome and love the truth so as to be saved.
