6The proverb is: A youth is close to his way; even when he is old, he will not withdraw from it.
5You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. 6And these words, which I instruct to you this day, shall be in your heart. 7And you shall explain them to your sons. And you shall meditate upon them sitting in your house, and walking on a journey, when lying down and when rising up. 8And you shall bind them like a sign on your hand, and they shall be placed and shall move between your eyes. 9And you shall write them at the threshold and on the doors of your house.
8Listen, my son, to the discipline of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother,
33Do not be led astray. Evil communication corrupts good morals.
58And so, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not useless in the Lord.
15I am not praying that you would take them out of the world, but that you would preserve them from evil.
1Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence. 2But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night. 3And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper. 4Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth. 5Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just. 6For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
20O Timothy, guard what has been deposited with you, avoiding the voice of profane novelties and of opposing ideas, which are falsely called knowledge. 21Certain persons, promising these things, have perished from the faith. May grace be with you. Amen.
14Yet truly, you should remain in those things which you have learned and which have been entrusted to you. For you know from whom you have learned them. 15And, from your infancy, you have known the Sacred Scriptures, which are able to instruct you toward salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture, having been divinely inspired, is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice, 17so that the man of God may be perfect, having been trained for every good work.
8See to it that no one deceives you through philosophy and empty falsehoods, as found in the traditions of men, in accord with the influences of the world, and not in accord with Christ.
5And he has received testimony with Jacob, and he has set a law within Israel. Such great things, he has commanded our fathers, so as to make these things known to their sons, 6so that another generation might know them, and so that the sons, who will be born and who will grow up, shall describe them to their sons. 7So then, may they put their hope in God, and may they not forget the works of God, and may they seek his commandments. 8May they not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation: a generation that does not straighten their heart and whose spirit is not trustworthy with God.
