Faith in Christ confirms all these things. For he himself, through the Holy Spirit, calls us in this way: “Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Who is the person who desires life and loves to see good days?
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.
Turn away from evil and do good.
Seek peace and pursue it.
The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to destroy their memory from the earth.
The righteous person cried out, and the Lord heard him and delivered him from all his afflictions.
Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy will surround those who hope in the Lord.”
