11And then you shall be like an obedient son of the Most High, and he will take pity on you more than a mother would. 12Wisdom breathes life into her sons, and she lifts up those who are seeking her, and she will precede them in the way of justice. 13And he who loves her loves life. And those who watch for her shall embrace her delights. 14Those who hold to her will inherit life. And whatever place she enters, God will bless. 15Those who serve her will yield to what is holy. And God loves those who love wisdom. 16He who listens to her shall judge the nations. And he who gazes upon her will remain secure. 17If he believes in her, he will inherit her, and whatever arises from him will be confirmed. 18For she walks with him through temptation, and she chooses him from the beginning. 19She will lead fear and dread and trials over him, and she will crucify him with the tribulation of her doctrine, until she has tested him in his thoughts and she can trust in his soul.
165Those who love your law have great peace, and there is no scandal for them. 166I have waited for your salvation, O Lord. And I have loved your commandments. 167My soul has kept to your testimonies and has loved them exceedingly. 168I have served your commandments and your testimonies. For all my ways are before your sight. 169O Lord, let my supplication draw near in your sight. Grant understanding to me according to your eloquence. 170Let my petition enter before you. Rescue me according to your word. 171A hymn will burst forth from my lips, when you will teach me your justifications. 172My tongue will pronounce your eloquence. For all your commandments are fairness. 173Let it be your hand that saves me. For I have chosen your commandments. 174O Lord, I have longed for your salvation, and your law is my meditation. 175My soul will live and will praise you, and your judgments will assist me.
38But Jesus said: “Do not prohibit him. For there is no one who can act with virtue in my name and soon speak evil about me. 39For whoever is not against you is for you. 40For whoever, in my name, will give you a cup of water to drink, because you belong to Christ: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
