New Testament

Proverbs 15:27-33 New Century Version (NCV)

27. Greedy people bring trouble to their families,but the person who can’t be paid to do wrong will live.

28. Good people think before they answer,but the wicked simply pour out evil.

29. The Lord does not listen to the wicked,but he hears the prayers of those who do right.

30. Good news makes you feel better.Your happiness will show in your eyes.

31. If you listen to correction to improve your life,you will live among the wise.

32. Those who refuse correction hate themselves,but those who accept correction gain understanding.

33. Respect for the Lord will teach you wisdom.If you want to be honored, you must be humble.
