because discipline and teachings are a graceful garland on your head and a golden chain around your neck. My son, if sinners lure you, do not go along.
If they say, “Come with us. Let’s set an ambush to kill someone. Let’s hide to ambush innocent people for fun.
We’ll swallow them alive like the grave, like those in good health who go into the pit.
We’ll find all kinds of valuable possessions. We’ll fill our homes with stolen goods.
Proverbs 1: 9-13
Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see. God accepted our ancestors because of their faith.
Faith convinces us that God created the world through his word. This means what can be seen was made by something that could not be seen.
Faith led Abel to offer God a better sacrifice than Cain’s sacrifice. Through his faith Abel received God’s approval, since God accepted his sacrifices. Through his faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. Hebrews 11: 1-4
Mas vosotros sois linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, pueblo adquirido por Dios, para que anunciéis las virtudes de aquel que os llamó de las tinieblas a su luz admirable;
vosotros que en otro tiempo no erais pueblo, pero que ahora sois pueblo de Dios; que en otro tiempo no habíais alcanzado misericordia, pero ahora habéis alcanzado misericordia.
1 Pedro 2:9-10.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,
do it with thy might;
for there is no work,
nor device, nor knowledge,
nor wisdom, in the grave,
whither thou goest.
Ecc 9:10.
