1 And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers; both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also -- Herod the tetrarchs foster-brother -- and Saul;
2 and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,
3 then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] away.
11 For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking towards you -- an affirmation of Jehovah; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give to you posterity and hope.
7 having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not suffer them,
5 and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;
5 Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not.
6 In all thy ways know thou Him, And He doth make straight thy paths.
5 In Gibeon hath Jehovah appeared unto Solomon, in a dream of the night, and God saith, Ask -- what do I give to thee?
6 And Solomon saith, Thou hast done with Thy servant David my father great kindness, as he walked before Thee in truth and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee, and Thou dost keep for him this great kindness, and dost give to him a son sitting on his throne, as [at] this day.
7 And now, O Jehovah my God, Thou hast caused thy servant to reign instead of David my father; and I [am] a little child, I do not know to go out and to come in;
8 and Thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people, whom Thou hast chosen, a people numerous, that is not numbered nor counted for multitude,
9 and Thou hast given to Thy servant an understanding heart, to judge Thy people, to discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?
10 And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon hath asked this thing,
11 and God saith unto him, Because that thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thee many days, nor asked for thee riches, nor asked the life of thine enemies, and hast asked for thee discernment to understand judgment,
12 lo, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given to thee a heart, wise and understanding, that like thee there hath not been before thee, and after thee there doth not arise like thee;
14 Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counsellors.
6 In all thy ways know thou Him, And He doth make straight thy paths.
33 Into the centre is the lot cast, And from Jehovah [is] all its judgment!
16 every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,
31 Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;
1 Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us,
17 that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.
1 For [an object of] desire he who is separated doth seek, With all wisdom he intermeddleth.
2 A fool delighteth not in understanding, But -- in uncovering his heart.
3 With the coming of the wicked come also hath contempt, And with shame -- reproach.
4 Deep waters [are] the words of a mans mouth, The fountain of wisdom [is] a flowing brook.
5 Acceptance of the face of the wicked [is] not good, To turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6 The lips of a fool enter into strife, And his mouth for stripes calleth.
7 The mouth of a fool [is] ruin to him, And his lips [are] the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a tale-bearer [are] as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down [to] the inner parts of the heart.
9 He also that is remiss in his work, A brother he [is] to a destroyer.
10 A tower of strength [is] the name of Jehovah, Into it the righteous runneth, and is set on high.
11 The wealth of the rich [is] the city of his strength, And as a wall set on high in his own imagination.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is high, And before honour [is] humility.
13 Whoso is answering a matter before he heareth, Folly it is to him and shame.
14 The spirit of a man sustaineth his sickness, And a smitten spirit who doth bear?
14 And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,
9 if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;
9 And his wife saith to him, Still thou art keeping hold on thine integrity: bless God and die.
10 And he saith unto her, As one of the foolish women speaketh, thou speakest; yea, the good we receive from God, and the evil we do not receive. In all this Job hath not sinned with his lips.
