and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed in the law,
The unfolding of thy words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.
the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed.
And that servant who knew his master's will, but did not make ready or act according to his will, shall receive a severe beating.
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
and if you are sure that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
And what great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law which I set before you this day?
so that you may approve what is excellent, and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
but test everything; hold fast what is good,
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.
Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
