Instruct the wise, and they become still wiser; teach the just, and they advance in learning.
The wise by hearing them will advance in learning, the intelligent will gain sound guidance,
The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool is imminent ruin.
A golden earring or a necklace of fine gold— one who gives wise reproof to a listening ear.
Let us know, let us strive to know the Lord; as certain as the dawn is his coming. He will come to us like the rain, like spring rain that waters the earth.”
But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory now and to the day of eternity. [Amen.]
I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.
