Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.

A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
