Proverbs 3\n\nFurther Benefits of Wisdom \n\n 1 My son, do not forget my teaching, \n       but keep my commands in your heart, \n 2 for they will prolong your life many years \n       and bring you prosperity. \n\n 3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; \n       bind them around your neck, \n       write them on the tablet of your heart. \n\n 4 Then you will win favor and a good name \n       in the sight of God and man. \n\n 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart \n       and lean not on your own understanding; \n\n 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, \n       and he will make your paths straight. [a] \n\n 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; \n       fear the LORD and shun evil. \n\n 8 This will bring health to your body \n       and nourishment to your bones. \n\n 9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, \n       with the firstfruits of all your crops; \n\n 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, \n       and your vats will brim over with new wine. \n\n 11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline \n       and do not resent his rebuke, \n\n 12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, \n       as a father [b] the son he delights in. \n\n 13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, \n       the man who gains understanding, \n\n 14 for she is more profitable than silver \n       and yields better returns than gold. \n\n 15 She is more precious than rubies; \n       nothing you desire can compare with her. \n\n 16 Long life is in her right hand; \n       in her left hand are riches and honor. \n\n 17 Her ways are pleasant ways, \n       and all her paths are peace. \n\n 18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; \n       those who lay hold of her will be blessed. \n\n 19 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations, \n       by understanding he set the heavens in place; \n\n 20 by his knowledge the deeps were divided, \n       and the clouds let drop the dew. \n\n 21 My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, \n       do not let them out of your sight; \n\n 22 they will be life for you, \n       an ornament to grace your neck. \n\n 23 Then you will go on your way in safety, \n       and your foot will not stumble; \n\n 24 when you lie down, you will not be afraid; \n       when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. \n\n 25 Have no fear of sudden disaster \n       or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, \n\n 26 for the LORD will be your confidence \n       and will keep your foot from being snared. \n\n 27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, \n       when it is in your power to act. \n\n 28 Do not say to your neighbor, \n       "Come back later; I'll give it tomorrow"—\n       when you now have it with you. \n\n 29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor, \n       who lives trustfully near you. \n\n 30 Do not accuse a man for no reason— \n       when he has done you no harm. \n\n 31 Do not envy a violent man \n       or choose any of his ways, \n\n 32 for the LORD detests a perverse man \n       but takes the upright into his confidence. \n\n 33 The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, \n       but he blesses the home of the righteous. \n\n 34 He mocks proud mockers \n       but gives grace to the humble. \n\n 35 The wise inherit honor, \n       but fools he holds up to shame.

Since You're So Bitterly Against The BiBLE And You Feel That Strongly About It, Maybe You Should Check out "Satans Gospel"!....I'm Sure Satan's Gospel Will Suit Your Fancy and Leave The LORD'S BUSINESS ALONE!!!!

hmmmm, this will be good!!\n\nFor: GINEVRA1WEASLEY, how is he pulling things of contexts when it's from your very own Bible? 32 (Bible) Scholars couldn't get it right and I doubt that you'll be able to get it right..

well I dont just read it through, I go by passages and I use a Student Bible becuase it has followups and questions to help you understand. I usually tell people to study the bible, not read it. I either read random passages or I look in the back where it says like "if you are worried read this, or if you  are losing faith read this". It often helps to read it according to your mood like when you are going through something. Otherwise just start with the New Testament, its usually the easiest :) Good luck and happy reading :)

Open your Bible to the very first page (not the title page).  There, it says on the 6th day of creation.

Why don`t you try the good ol` King James version of the Bible?It has been working for a LONG time!And it will be working when a lot of other reading material is gone and forgotten.

I like the Amercian Standard Bible.  When studying, it is good to have a few versions to look at, since English is not the orginal language of the Bible, the translations vary slightly.  If you read more than one version, you will have a better understanding of the original intention of the writer.\n\nMost importantly, as you study, pray and ask God to reveal himself to you through His Word, and you will receive insight you could never grasp on your own.\n\nKeep reading!

gablue430 has listed some of the very best choices.  My list would be similar, with one addition:\n\nNIV Study Bible\nNIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible\nESV Reformation Study Bible\nNIV Quest Study Bible \n\nBut I'd like rather to suggest a METHOD for you to make a good choice for YOU.\n\nThings to consider:\n\n1) Which TRANSLATION(s) are you comfortable with?  If you have a fairly strong preference for one you should take that seriously.   Of course, if you're mainly using this book at your desk and happy to keep a copy of your favorite translation at the ready, this may be less important for you --you can focus on Point #2.\n\n(NIV and ESV seem to be the dominant versions in evangelical circles these days [ESV is esp. claiming the old NASB crowd and many NKJV users].  I use both [with others] for study & teaching, but just for reading --silently or aloud-- I think the NIV is superior.  Comparing their Study Bibles, the NIV Spirit of the Reformation vs. ESV Reformation Study Bible are very close in quality -- you translation preference might well be the tie-breaker.)\n\n2) Are there specific study aids within the TEXT that you think would find especially helpful?  and do you know what you want them to do?\n\na) is it cross references that give you a lot of related passages to check out on your own?   -all of those listed ar pretty solid in this area (I have a slight preference for the NIV Study Bible on that; they did an excellent, thorough process of assmebling USEFUL parallels)\n\nb) book introductions, overviews: \nAll of those listed include some helpful book introductions (The book outlines are just OK -- haven't yet found one that is consistently helpful at this point.  At some point they tend to break down into a mere list of contents, without any analysis of WHY they are organized the way they are.  But it's a reasonable start.)\n\nc) text notes:  are you looking for 'topical notes' that answer common theological questions, esp practical ones?  (try Quest);  do you want some good, reliable discussions of what the Bible teaches on many key doctrines?  (try the two "Reformation" Bibles);   do you mainly want note that focus on special features of the specific text you are looking at, the structure of this psalm, etc? (NIV Study Bible probably beats everyone on this point -- this is my own preference and why I've always preferrd this one over the rest for MY use)\n\n3) What about the EXTRA resources in the back?  ( I don't think these are generally as imporant as those under #2 --which tend to be the *main* reason people get a study bible, but do give them some thought, esp. if things are coming out pretty even to this point!)\n\na) MAPS  - how many? how readable are they for YOU?  (some Bible map sections are great... some are awful!)\n\nb) INDEXES:   esp. 'topical guides' & Concordance -- are these enough for your own needs?  will they help you find things you are looking for? (I mostly use a separate complete concordance, but for some folks having more IN their Bibles is important to them)\n\n3) "PHYSICAL" matters, layout, etc.  (some of this may come into play more AFTER you've decided which version you want, when you're looking at size, shape, etc)\n\na) Readability of print:   All of these probably have pretty decent, readable print, etc. but that is not ALWAYS the case.  But you might find you prefer reading a single column ['like other books'] or that two-columns works well for you [tends to decrease the page count, so may lead to a smaller book to carry, or to thicker paper]\n\nb) Some have better quality paper than others as well (oddly I've found some hardcover editions have better, thicker paper than the leatherbound).  \n\nc) binding: You might have a preference on binding, and that may depend on how and how much you use the Bible, as well as the size.  (I have found that I like a smaller leatherbound cross-reference Bibl
