New Testament

Proverbs 18:16-21 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

16. Taking a gift to an important personwill help get you in to see him.

17. The first person to tell his side of a story seems right.But that may change when somebody comes and asks him questions.

18. Throwing lots settles arguments.It keeps the two sides from fighting.

19. A brother who has been insulted is harder to win back than a walled city.And arguments separate people like the barred gates of a palace.

20. What you say affects how you live.You will be rewarded by how you speak.

21. What you say can mean life or death.Those who love to talk will be rewarded for what they say.
