Proverbs 19:4
Wealth attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.
Punishment of liars
Proverbs 19:5
A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free.
True human nature
Proverbs 19:6-7
Many curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.
The poor are shunned by all their relatives—how much more do their friends avoid them! Though the poor pursue them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found.
Knowledge and wisdom
Proverbs 19:8
The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
Philippians 1:27-28
Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved — and that by God. —
Let's live as if we've been redeemed! Let's show our love and character in our daily lives. Let's especially work together, with one voice and spirit, making a vigorous effort to share the Gospel with those who have never heard of the grace of God in the ministry of Jesus. In the face of opposition, let's not be deterred or divided. Instead, let's work hand-in-hand for the cause of the Gospel.
