The wicked one finds favor; he does not learn righteousness; he acts wrongfully in the land of straight things, and he does not see the majesty of Jehovah.

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
This book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, and you shall meditate on it by day and by night, so that you shall be on guard to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall prosper your way, and then you shall act wisely.
Fathers, I have written to you because you have known the One from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
