See the chapter Copy

The Proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

To receive moral instruction in skillful living, in righteousness, justice, and equity.

Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him, for he refreshes the heart of his masters.

The Teacher sought to find delightful words, and to write accurately truthful sayings.

But these are recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess.

I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
