²⁶ My son, give me thy heart; And let thine eyes delight in my ways.

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁸ And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

² Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart.

⁹ BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed `thereto' according to thy word.

¹⁰ With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.

¹¹ Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee.

⁴³ Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah. Psalm 108 A Song, A Psalm of David.

⁵ and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

²³ Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

⁴ And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;

¹ My son, forget not my law; But let thy heart keep my commandments:

¹⁹ And we have the word of prophecy `made' more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:

⁵ and `this', not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;

¹⁵ and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.

²⁶ If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

⁹ Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein.

²⁵ Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

²⁶ Make level the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established.

²⁷ Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: Remove thy foot from evil.
