Your faith and love are based on the hope you have. What you hope for is stored up for you in heaven. You have already heard about it. You were told about it when the true message was given to you. I’m talking about the good news

Here is a saying that you can trust. It should be accepted completely. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the worst sinner of all.

Many people have attempted to write about the things that have taken place among us.Reports of these things were handed down to us. There were people who saw these things for themselves from the beginning. They saw them and then passed the word on.With this in mind, I myself have carefully looked into everything from the beginning. So I also decided to write down an orderly report of exactly what happened. I am doing this for you, most excellent Theophilus.I want you to know that the things you have been taught are true.

Joy is found in giving the right answer. And how good is a word spoken at the right time!

The Lord hates the thoughts of sinful people. But he considers kind words to be pure.

These are the words of the Teacher. He was the son of David. He was also the king in Jerusalem.

Pay attention and listen to the sayings of wise people. Apply your heart to the sayings I teach.It is pleasing when you keep them in your heart. Have all of them ready on your lips.You are the one I am teaching today. That’s because I want you to trust in the Lord.I have written 30 sayings for you. They will give you knowledge and good advice.I am teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth. Then you can give honest reports to those you serve.

The right ruling at the right time is like golden apples in silver jewelry.A wise judge’s warning to a listening ear is like a gold earring or jewelry made of fine gold.

Wise hearts are known for understanding what is right. Kind words make people want to learn more.Understanding is like a fountain of life to those who have it. But foolish people are punished for the foolish things they do.The hearts of wise people guide their mouths. Their words make people want to learn more.Kind words are like honey. They are sweet to the spirit and bring healing to the body.

These are the proverbs of Solomon. He was the son of David and the king of Israel.Proverbs teach you wisdom and instruct you. They help you understand wise sayings.They provide you with instruction and help you live wisely. They lead to what is right and honest and fair.They give understanding to childish people. They give knowledge and good sense to those who are young.Let wise people listen and add to what they have learned. Let those who understand what is right get guidance.What I’m teaching also helps you understand proverbs and stories. It helps you understand the sayings and riddles of those who are wise.

What I’m about to tell you is true. We speak about what we know. We are witnesses about what we have seen. But still you people do not accept what we say.

Listen! I have things to say that you can depend on. I open my lips to speak what is right.My mouth speaks what is true. My lips hate evil.All the words of my mouth are honest. None of them is twisted or sinful.To those who have understanding, all my words are right. To those who have found knowledge, they are true.Choose my teaching instead of silver. Choose knowledge rather than fine gold.

I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
