When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. I Corinthians 13:11 HEAR, YE children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. ...He taught me aslso, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake, her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many....Keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it ar the issues of life.
