⁶The proverb is: A youth is close to his way; even when he is old, he will not withdraw from it.

⁴These things have not been hidden from their sons in any generation: declaring the praises of the Lord, and his virtues, and the wonders that he has done. 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.

¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.

¹²Let no one despise your youth, but be an example among the faithful in word, in behavior, in charity, in faith, in chastity.

⁶For the Lord bestows wisdom, and out of his mouth, prudence and knowledge.

³¹Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever else you may do, do everything for the glory of God.

²⁰Whoever keeps step with the wise shall be wise. A friend of the foolish will become like them.

¹⁵Be solicitous in the task of presenting yourself before God as a proven and unashamed worker who has handled the Word of Truth correctly.

⁷For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.

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.

²³Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as for the Lord, and not for men. ²⁴For you know that you will receive from the Lord the repayment of an inheritance. Serve Christ the Lord.

⁵But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him.

¹⁸If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you. ¹⁹If you had been of the world, the world would love what is its own. Yet truly, you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; because of this, the world hates you.

¹⁶All Scripture, having been divinely inspired, is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice,

¹⁵Do not choose to love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
