The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
