Please don’t pay any attention to that evil man Nabal. His name means Foolish Person. And that’s exactly what he is. He’s always doing foolish things. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to see the men you sent.

Godly people are careful about the friends they choose. But the way of sinners leads them down the wrong path.

My dear brothers and sisters, listen to me. Hasn’t God chosen those who are poor in the world’s eyes to be rich in faith? Hasn’t he chosen them to receive the kingdom? Hasn’t he promised it to those who love him?But you have disrespected poor people. Aren’t rich people taking advantage of you? Aren’t they dragging you into court?

What good is it if someone gains the whole world but loses their soul? Or what can anyone trade for their soul?

Now think it over. See what you can do. Horrible trouble will soon come to our master and his whole family. He’s such an evil man that no one can even talk to him.”

Whoever has respect for the Lord lives a good life. But those who hate him walk down an evil path.

But I live without blame. Save me from harm and treat me with kindness.

So here is what I tell you. Every kind of sin and every evil word spoken against God will be forgiven. But speaking evil things against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. A person like that won’t be forgiven either now or in days to come.“ If you make a tree good, its fruit will be good. If you make a tree bad, its fruit will be bad. You can tell a tree by its fruit.You nest of poisonous snakes! How can you who are evil say anything good? Your mouths say everything that is in your hearts.

Your hands and fingers are stained with blood. You are guilty of committing murder. Your mouth has told lies. Your tongue says evil things.

Everyone longs for love that never fails. It is better to be poor than to be a liar.

The godly are always giving and lending freely. Their children will be a blessing.
