Catherine Scott
highlighted Proverbs 21:19 ESV
It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

Catherine Scott
highlighted Proverbs 21:16-18 ESV
One who wanders from the way of good sense will rest in the assembly of the dead. Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich. The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright.

Catherine Scott
highlighted Proverbs 21:12-15 ESV
The Righteous One observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked down to ruin. Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered. A gift in secret averts anger, and a concealed bribe, strong wrath. When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.

Catherine Scott
highlighted Proverbs 21:11 ESV
When a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.
Aug 24
Catherine Scott
highlighted Proverbs 21:7-10 ESV
The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes. The violence of the wicked will sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is just. The way of the guilty is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright. It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

Catherine Scott
highlighted Proverbs 21:4-6 ESV
Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin. The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.

highlighted 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 ESV
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Catherine Scott
highlighted 1 Thessalonians 4:12-15 ESV
so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

Catherine Scott
highlighted 1 Thessalonians 4:5-6 ESV
not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.

highlighted 1 Thessalonians 3:8-13 ESV
as we pray most earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you,and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you,so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints. For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord.For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God,

highlighted 1 Thessalonians 3:2-7 ESV
and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's coworker in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith,that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are destined for this.For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, just as it has come to pass, and just as you know.For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you—for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith.
