When anxiety is in the heart of a man, one may bow him down, but, a good word, maketh him glad.

A man hath joy, in the answer of his own mouth, and, a word in its season, - how good!

So Achish called for David, and said unto him - By the life of Yahweh, surely, upright, thou art, and, pleasing in mine eyes, have been thy going out and thy coming in with me, in the host, for I have found in thee no wrong, from the day of thy coming in unto me, until this day, - but, in the eyes of the lords, displeasing, thou art. Now, therefore, return, and go in peace, - so shalt thou not do wrong in the eyes of the lords of the Philistines. Then said David unto Achish - But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant, from the day that I came before thee, unto this day, - that I may not go in and fight, with the enemies of my lord the king.read more.
Then answered Achish, and said unto David, I acknowledge that, pleasing, thou art in mine eyes, as a messenger of God, - notwithstanding, the princes of the Philistines, have said, He shall not go up with us, into the battle.

But, after the tumult had ceased, Paul, sending for the disciples and exhorting them, took leave, and went forth to be journeying unto Macedonia. Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, he came into Greece;

First, indeed, I give thanks unto my God, through Jesus Christ, concerning you all, because your faith is being announced throughout the whole world.

I am giving thanks unto my God, on occasion of all my remembrance of you, At all times, in every supplication of mine, in behalf of you all, with joy, my supplication, making, - On account of your contribution unto the glad-message, from the first day until the present:read more.
Being persuaded of this very thing - that, he who hath begun in you a good work, will perfect it, until the day of Jesus Christ;

For, though, indeed, in the flesh, I am absent, yet, in the spirit, with you, I am - rejoicing, and beholding your order and the solid firmness of your Christ-ward faith.

Unceasingly, remembering - your work of faith and labour of love and endurance of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father:

We are bound, to be giving thanks, unto God, continually, concerning you, brethren, even as it is, meet; because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all one to another aboundeth, So that, we ourselves, in you, are boasting, in the assemblies of God, over your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which ye are sustaining: -

Grateful, am I, unto God, - unto whom I am rendering divine service from my progenitors in a pure conscience, that, incessant, hold I the remembrance, concerning thee, in my supplications; day and night, longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, - in order that, with joy, I may be filled: A reminder, having received, of the unfeigned faith, that is in thee, - such, as dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, - I am persuaded, moreover, that it dwelleth , in thee also.

Now I praise you, that, in all things, ye have me in remembrance, and, even as I delivered unto you the instructions, ye hold them fast.

He that reproveth a man, shall, afterwards, find more, favour, than he that useth a flattering tongue.

I am hoping, however, in the Lord Jesus - Timothy, shortly, to send unto you, in order that, I also, may be of cheerful soul, when I have ascertained the things that concern you. For, no one, have I, of equal soul, who, genuinely, as to the things that concern you, will be anxious; For, they all, their own things, do seek, not the things of Christ Jesus;read more.
But, of the proof of him, be taking note, - that, as child, with father, with me, hath he done service for the glad-message; Him, indeed, therefore, am I hoping to send - as soon as I can look off from the things that concern myself, - forthwith.

As for thy morsel thou hast eaten, thou shalt vomit it, so shalt thou waste thy things so sweet.

A false tongue, hateth them who are crushed by it, and, a flattering mouth, worketh occasion of stumbling.
