American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through {Or, stedfastness}patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.
A worthless man {Hebrew: diggeth.}deviseth mischief;And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without {Or, doubtfulness Or, partiality}variance, without hypocrisy.
My son, if thou wilt receive my words,And lay up my commandments with thee;
So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom,And apply thy heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou cry after discernment,And lift up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seek her as silver,And search for her as for hid treasures:
Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah,And find the knowledge of God.
For Jehovah giveth wisdom;Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding:
He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; {Or, And a shield for &c.}He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;
{Or, That they may keep}That he may guard the paths of justice, {Or, Yea he preserveth}And preserve the way of his saints.
Be not wise in thine own eyes;Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:
It will be health to thy navel,And {Or, refreshing Hebrew: moistening.}marrow to thy bones.
Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth;By understanding he established the heavens.
By his knowledge the depths were broken up,And the skies drop down the dew.
My son, let them not depart from thine eyes;Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
So shall they be life unto thy soul,And grace to thy neck.
Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely,And {Hebrew: thou shall not dash thy foot.}thy foot shall not stumble.
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid:Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Be not afraid of sudden fear,Neither of the {Or, storm}desolation of the wicked, when it cometh:
For Jehovah will be thy confidence,And will keep thy foot from being taken.
Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night;Thou hast tried me, and {Or, findest no evil purpose in me; My mouth &c.}findest nothing;I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
נ NUN.Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,And light unto my path.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
