Proverbs 15:5
A fool spurns a parent’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.
Effects of Sin and Holiness
Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.
Advice to Servants
Proverbs 14:35
A king delights in a wise servant, but a shameful servant arouses his fury.
How to Pacify Wrath
Proverbs 15:1-2
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
1 John 5:4
For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. —
This is the companion passage to 1 John 2:17 — "The world and its desires are passing away, but the one who does the will of God lives forever." Our destiny and future are not limited to the boundaries of existence tied to our little blue planet. Our future and our hope burst the boundaries of mortality and are tied to our faith in a resurrected and victorious Savior who is coming back to bring us to his eternal home. This faith is displayed by doing God's will even when most people in our contemporary culture choose to chase what is fleeting and transient.
Omnipresence of God
Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
