³⁰ A quiet mind is the life of the body, but envy is a disease in the bones.

⁴ A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband; but she whose behaviour is a cause of shame is like a wasting disease in his bones.

²² A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

²⁹ Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;

²³ And keep watch over your heart with all care; so you will have life.

⁸ This will give strength to your flesh, and new life to your bones.

¹⁰ The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.

² For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.

⁵ Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us?

⁷ For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.

⁸⁰ Let all my heart be given to your orders, so that I may not be put to shame.
