Therefore every man that heareth these my words, and doeth them, shall be made like to a wise man, that hath builded his house on a stone.
And he said to man, Lo! the dread of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to go away from evil, is understanding.
the beginning of wisdom is the dread of the Lord. Good understanding is to all that do it; his praising dwelleth into the world of world.
Declaring of thy words lighteneth; and it giveth understanding to meek men.
I understood over all men teaching me; for thy witnessings is my thinking.
As a tempest passing, a wicked man shall not be; but a just [or rightwise] man shall be as an ever-lasting foundament.
A wise man shall receive commandments with heart; a fool is beaten with his own lips.
Overturn thou wicked men, and they shall not be; but the houses of just [or rightwise] men shall dwell perfectly.
The wisdom of a fell [or witting] man is to understand his way; and the unwariness of fools erreth.
for whoever doeth the will of my Father that is in heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
And I say to thee, that thou art Peter, and on this stone I shall build my church, and the gates of hell shall not have might or power, [or strength], against it.
Who guessest thou is a true [or a faithful] servant and prudent, whom his lord ordained on his meine, to give them meat in time?
and five of them were fools, and five prudent.
but the prudent took oil in their vessels with the lamps.
The prudent answered, and said, Lest peradventure it suffice not to us and to you, go ye rather to men that sell, and buy to you.
And rain came down, and floods came, and winds blew, and rushed into that house; and it felled not down, for it was founded on a stone.
And every man that heareth these my words, and doeth them not, is like a fool, that hath builded his house on gravel [or on sand].
And he said, But yea [or Rather], blessed be they, that hear the word of God, and keep it.
If ye know these things, ye shall be blessed, if ye do them.
If ye love me, keep ye my com-mandments.
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall dwell in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and dwell in his love.
Ye be my friends if ye do those things, that I command to you.
For the hearers of the law be not just with God, but the doers of the law shall be made just.
And in this thing we know, that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
