Wisdom
1 The sayings of Jesus the reincarnation of David, King of the Church;
2 To know wisdom and instructions; to perceive the words of understanding;
3 To receive the instructions of wisdom, justice, judgment, and equity;
4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young knowledge and discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb and its interpretations; the words of the wise, and their hidden meanings.
7 The fear of the Supreme Being begins with the true knowledge of him: but fools despise this wisdom and instruction.
8 My people, hear the instructions of thy Father Jesus, and forsake not the laws of thy covenant:
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 My people, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privy for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purpose:
15 My people, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain their net is spread for themselves.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privy for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy for gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity, and scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at the Supreme Being's reproof: behold, He will pour out his teachings unto you, I will make known his words unto you.
24 Because He has called, and ye refused; He has stretched out his hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all his counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 He also will look down at your calamity; but will rejoice when your fear for him cometh;
27 When your fear cometh by desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall you call upon him, and He will answer; they who seek him early, they shall not suffer reincarnation:
29 But a fool hates knowledge, and will not choose the fear of Almighty God:
30 They would none of his counsel: they despised all his reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple, Almighty God shall reincarnate them, and the prosperity of fools shall be destroyed.
33 But whosoever hearkeneth unto Almighty God shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

1 My people, if thou wilt receive the Supreme Being's words, and hide his commandments within thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou cravest after knowledge, and liftest up thy heart for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hidden treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of Almighty God, and find the knowledge of him.
6 For Almighty God giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his Saints.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12 To deliver thee from temptation and evil thoughts, from the thoughts that bringeth froward thinking;
13 Which causes you to leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 To rejoice in doing evil, and delight in the forwardness of the wicked;
15 Whose ways are crooked, and forward in their paths:
16 To deliver thee from the strange religions, even from the stranger ones which flattereth with new ideas;
17 Which forsaketh the Supreme Being of its youth, and forgetteth his covenant.
18 For this church declineth unto hell, and its paths unto reincarnation.
19 All that go unto it return again, for they refuse to take hold of the teachings of life.
20 That they mayest walk in the way of holy men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For the sinners shall dwell again on the earth, but the holy shall dwell in heaven.
22 The wicked shall reincarnate off the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
3
1 My people, forget not Almighty God's laws; but let thine heart keep his commandments:
2 For length of days, and eternal life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth depart from thee: bind them about thy heart; write them upon the tablets of thine soul:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good standing in the sight of him.
5 Trust in him with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear him, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour him with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My people, despise not the chastening of Almighty God; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom He loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth spiritual wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the teachings of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 Spiritual wisdom is more precious than rubies: and all the teachings thou canst desire are not to be compared unto it.
16 Eternal life is in it; and in it riches and honour.
17 Its ways are the ways of righteousness, and all its teachings are of peace.
18 It is as the Holy Spirit to them that lay hold upon it: and happy is everyone that retaineth it.
19 The Supreme Being by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath He established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My people, let not wisdom depart from thine heart: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 They shall be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy heart.
23 Then shalt thou walk in his ways safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid of sudden death, neither of the resurrection, when it cometh.
26 For He shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy soul from being taken.
27 Withhold not honour from them to whom it is due, it is his will that you do so.
28 Say not unto mankind, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it today.
29 Devise not evil against mankind, so that thou dwelleth securely by this.
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 For his forwardness is an abomination unto the Supreme Being: but holiness brings eternal life.
33 Reincarnation is in the house of the wicked: but He blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Surely He scorneth the scorners: but He giveth grace unto the holy.
35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

1 Hear, ye people, the instruction of your GOD, and attend to his commandments.
2 For He gives you sound doctrine, forsake ye not his law.
3 For I am my Father's Son, tender and beloved in the sight of him.
4 He taught me also, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get spiritual wisdom, get understanding: neglect them not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake them not, and they shall preserve thee: love them, and they shall keep thee.
7 Spiritual wisdom is my principal teaching; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
8 Cling to them, and they shall elevate thee: they shall bring thee to heaven, when thou dost embrace them.
9 They shall give to thine head a halo of grace: a crown of glory shall they deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my Saints, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
11 I have taught thee all the ways of wisdom; I will lead thee in righteous paths.
12 Where thou goest, thy steps shall be ordered; and where thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13 Take hold of the Holy First Covenant; let it not go: keep it; for in it is eternal life.
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid them, pass not there, turn from them, and live.
16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their rest not, unless they have cause mischief.
17 But they shall eat the bread of destruction, and drink the wine of reincarnation.
18 The path of the holy is as a shining light, that shineth brighter and brighter unto transition.
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not their end.
20 My people, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my commandments.
21 Let them not depart from thine soul; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are eternal life unto those that obey them, and salvation to all the unbelievers.
23 Keep my commandments with all diligence; for out of them comes eternal life.
24 Put away from thee a forward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
25 Let thine soul be always righteous, and let thine heart be upright before GOD.
26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: but remove thyself from evil.

1 My people, attend unto Almighty God's wisdom, and bow thine ear to his understanding:
2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy heart may maintain holiness.
3 For the teachings of strange doctrines drop as honeycomb, and its rituals are smoother than oil:
4 But its end is reincarnation, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Its foundation is rooted in reincarnation; its instructions take hold on hell.
6 But if thou shouldest ponder the path to eternal life, its ways will be exposed, that all canst know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye people, and depart not from the commandments of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from religion, and come not nigh the door of her churches:
9 Lest thou give GOD's honour unto others, and thy heart be turned unto rituals:
10 For sinners be filled with her teachings; as they labour in the churches of a religion;
11 But they mourn at judgement, when their flesh decay and their soul are reincarnated,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the commandments of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14 For I was in all evil in the midst of their congregation and assembly.
15 Take spiritual sustenance out of his Holy Teachings, and salvation out of his Holy First Covenant.
16 Let Almighty God's teachings be dispersed abroad, as rivers of Living Waters in the streets.
17 Let them be only his own, and not religious teachings with them.
18 For thy teachings were ordained: so rejoice in the Holy First Covenant of thy beginning.
19 Let it be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let its nourishment satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with his love.
20 And why wilt thou, my people, be ravished with a strange teaching, and embrace the teaching of a religion?
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of Almighty God, and He pondereth all his goings.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23 He shall reincarnate without instruction; for in the greatness of his folly he was led astray.

1 My people, how can thou witness to thy friend, if thou hast taken thy guidance from a religion?
2 Thou art judged by the words of thy mouth, thou art judged by the words of thy mouth.
3 Do this now, my people, and deliver thyself, so that thou may come into the land of the Angels; go, humble thyself, and make certain thy place with the Angels.
4 Give not vanity to thine heart, nor reincarnation to thine soul.
5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 Go to the Holy First Covenant, thou sinners; obey its teachings, and be holy:
7 Which having Jesus as a Guide, and Almighty God as a Ruler,
8 Provides salvation in life's hottest of times, and gathers salvation for the replenishing of the earth.
9 How long wilt thou sin, O sinners? when wilt thou arise out of thy sins?
10 Sin leads to judgement and judgement to reincarnation:
11 So shall thy lack of holiness bring you as one that reincarnates as all soldiers do.
12 Those naughty people, those wicked men, who marcheth forward with a shouting mouth.
13 They rejoiceth in their pride, they speaketh with authority, they killeth with their hands;
14 Forwardness is in their heart, they deviseth mischief continually; they soweth discord among nations.
15 Therefore shall their reincarnation come suddenly; suddenly shall they be broken without remedy.
16 These six things doth GOD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in marching to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among the nations.
20 My people, keep my commandments, and forsake not the laws of the Holy First Covenant:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and lay them about thy souls.
22 Wheresoever thou goest, it shall guide thee; when thou transition, it is what would have kept thee; and when thou arrivest, Almighty God shall glory in thee.
23 For the commandments are as lamps; and the laws are unto holiness; and reproofs of instruction are the ways to eternal life:
24 To keep thee from evil, and from the treachery of the teachings of strange religions.
25 Lust not after the enticements of their teachings; neither let them overtake thee with their doctrines.
26 For by means of a whorish religion, a saint is devalued to a sinner: if that saint refused to seek after eternal life.
27 Can a man take religious teachings in his heart, and his soul not be contaminated?
28 Can one go after religion, and his sure foundation not be destroyed?
29 So is he that goeth into a religious church; whosoever entereth them shall not be innocent.
30 Almighty God despiseth a religious person, for he takes religious teachings to satisfy his soul, and he is without salvation;
31 But if he finds salvation, he can be restore holy; if he shall dedicate his life to the Church.
32 But whosoever committeth themselves to a religion lacketh understanding: he that doeth it reincarnates his very soul.
33 Reincarnation and dishonour shall he get; for his sins shall not be wiped away.
34 For holy is the Maker of man: therefore he will not be spared in the day of judgement.
35 He will not gain any ransom; neither will he transition, though he givest many gifts.
