New Testament

Proverbs 14:19-27 New Living Translation (NLT)

19. Evil people will bow before good people;the wicked will bow at the gates of the godly.

20. The poor are despised even by their neighbors,while the rich have many “friends.”

21. It is a sin to belittle one’s neighbor;blessed are those who help the poor.

22. If you plan to do evil, you will be lost;if you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness.

23. Work brings profit,but mere talk leads to poverty!

24. Wealth is a crown for the wise;the effort of fools yields only foolishness.

25. A truthful witness saves lives,but a false witness is a traitor.

26. Those who fear the lord are secure;he will be a refuge for their children.

27. Fear of the lord is a life-giving fountain;it offers escape from the snares of death.
