He that does not love DOES NOT KNOW GOD for God is love.
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof is stupid.
Deciet is in the heart of those who devise evil,
But counselors of peace have joy.
The wise in heart will be called discerning,
And sweetness of speech increases persuasivness.
A perverse man spreads strife,
And a slanderer separates intimate friends.
A gentile answer turns away wrath
But a harsh word stirs up anger
The lips of the wise spread KNOWLEDGE
But the hearts of fools are not so
Where there is no guidance, the people fall,
But in abundance of counselors there is victory.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall
be called the sons of God !!
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Turn the other cheek , also.
He who does not love abides in death.
Judge not those who are without [the church}
That judgment is reserved for God
Love is patient, kind; it is not arrogant; it does not brag.
Seek to abound for the edification of the assembly of saints [the chruch]
Overseerers should not lord it over the flock.
Blessed is the gentle for they shall inherit the earth.
Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls and stand he will, for the Lord is able TO MAKE HIM STAND
Therefore, let us not judge one another anymore.
Respect what is right in the sight of all men.
We also exhalt in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
You quote your thousand and I will quote my ten thousand !!
May the Lord bless the reading of all scripture.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
