Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Guard your heart above everything else, because your whole life flows from it.
KJV20My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. 24Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. 25Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
Short sayings of practical wisdom for everyday life, many attributed to Solomon.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Paul’s word on yoking your life to someone who does not share your faith: when choosing a partner, look for one who walks the same way. It is not a call to leave a marriage you are already in (1 Corinthians 7:12-13).
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Humility in practice: value others above yourself and look out for their interests, not only your own.
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
The people you walk with shape you: walk with the wise and you grow wise.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For every hard conversation: quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.
