Wisdom of Solomon 1:1-7
(1) Love righteousness, you⌃ that be judges of the earth, Think you⌃ of the Lord with a good mind, And in singleness of heart seek you⌃ him; (2) Because he is found of those who tempt him not, And is manifested to those who do not distrust him. (3) For crooked thoughts separate from God; And the supreme Power, when it is brought to the proof, puts to confusion the foolish: (4) Because wisdom will not enter into a soul that deviseth evil, Nor dwell in a body that is held in pledge by sin. (5) For a holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit. And will start away from thoughts that are without understanding, And will be put to confusion when unrighteousness has come in. (6) For wisdom is a spirit that loves man, And she will not hold a blasphemer guiltless for his lips; Because God bears witness of his reins, And is a true overseer of his heart, And a hearer of his tongue: (7) Because the spirit of the Lord has filled the world, And that which holds all things together has knowledge of every voice.
Psalms 139:1-10
(1) Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me. (2) You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar. (3) You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. (4) For there is not a word on my tongue, but, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether. (5) You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me. (6) This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it. (7) Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? (8) If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there! (9) If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea; (10) Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.
Luke 17:1-6
(1) He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come! (2) It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. (3) Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him. (4) If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” (5) The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” (6) The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
