American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Hearken unto thy father that begat thee,And despise not thy mother when she is old.
Buy the truth, and sell it not;Yea, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice;And he that begetteth a wise child will have joy of him.
Let thy father and thy mother be glad,And let her that bare thee rejoice.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and that the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
The elder unto the elect {Or, Cyria}lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all they that know the truth;
The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
