...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases. Reference information, background information and links connecting the people and places are given to help you find a place to begin reading the Bible for yourself.

Plain and Simple

Proverbs Chapter 20 consists of 30 verses,
verses 1-7 are listed below:

1.Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

2.The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

3.It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

4.The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

5.Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

6.Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

7.The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that a just man is a righteous man. A just man rises after falling, is teachable, has nothing to do with idols, treats the poor with integrity, behaves honorably towards women, judges fairly, plunders no one, and obeys the laws and commandments of the Lord God. Noah  the ark builder was a just man. Lot in Sodom, John the Baptist in Judea, Simeon in Jerusalem, Joseph of Arimathea, Cornelius the centurion in Caesarea, and Joseph of Nazareth in Galilee were just men. Joseph was the husband of Mary. When Mary was a virgin, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb, and Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 1:1-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Proverbs 9:1-18, 20:1-30, 24:1-34, Ezekiel 18:1-32, Zechariah 9:1-17, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-15:41, Hebrews 11:1-40, 2 Peter 2:1-22

Reference Scriptures:
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;-Proverbs 1:1

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.-Matthew 1:1...And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;-Matthew 1:6...And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.-Matthew 1:16
