7 And when they had come opposite My'sia, they attempted to go into Bithyn'ia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;
11 For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyre'ne, Man'a-en a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

3 Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him.
5 At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you."
6 And Solomon said, "Thou hast shown great and steadfast love to thy servant David my father, because he walked before thee in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward thee; and thou hast kept for him this great and steadfast love, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne this day.
7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.
8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people whom thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered or counted for multitude.
9 Give thy servant therefore an understanding mind to govern thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to govern this thy great people?"
10 It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.
11 And God said to him, "Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right,
12 behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you.
16 All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
14 Where there is no guidance, a people falls; but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
33 The lot is cast into the lap, but the decision is wholly from the LORD.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
14 And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God, and die."
10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 He who is estranged seeks pretexts to break out against all sound judgment.
2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.
3 When wickedness comes, contempt comes also; and with dishonor comes disgrace.
4 The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a gushing stream.
5 It is not good to be partial to a wicked man, or to deprive a righteous man of justice.
6 A fool's lips bring strife, and his mouth invites a flogging.
7 A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to himself.
8 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
9 He who is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys.
10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
11 A rich man's wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall protecting him.
12 Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility goes before honor.
