«Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: / Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: / Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; / And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, / And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; / And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! / I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.»
«Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: / Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.»

«Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; / That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: / But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.»
«The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.»
