 What we can learn in this chapter

In verses 1 and 2 (See The Word of God for Everyone) we learn one of the classes
of people that you and I probably know, these are selfish people in
other words people who always seek their own without caring about the opinion of others
These kinds of people always use 'I was', 'I do', 'I am', they do this.
Why do they always try to fulfill all their whims? It shouldn't be this way.
Cristiano, because according to the Word of God it is first God, then the neighbor, and
then we (Mat. 22:37-40). Therefore, we should always think of others before ourselves

In verse 6 we can see another class of people; these are those who, for not being

knowing how to recognize when they are wrong in what they are doing. Now this is something very
normal for people who do not know God, but for Christians and for those who

that in (Rom. 12:21) we learn that we must repay evil with good.
In verse 15 we can learn 2 things of utmost importance for us (1) that
we must always use our minds with the desire to learn more every day the will
of our God (2) that we must learn to listen carefully to the Word of
Our God so that He can increase our knowledge, let us remember that growing in

always to take care of her, respect her, and love her at all times of our lives (Prov. 5:19).
In verse 24 we learn how important and beautiful friendship is with our
neighbor. Another thing that this verse teaches us is that apart from being brothers in
Christ, we must be sincere friends to one another as David and Jonathan were.
(1 Sam. 18:1) this beautiful friendship among friends is what should always exist between
the Christians.

In verse 1 we learn that it is good to be poor but to be whole or complete or

when we are not obedient to God.
In verses 4 and 6, we learn that riches bring false friendships, meaning that
many want to be friends with the rich but for interest, not sincerely, however the
Cristiano should always maintain a sincere friendship with his neighbor without any interest.

Chapter 21

What we can learn in this chapter

In verse 1 we can learn how our God can control our

thoughts so that in this way we do His will, this we understand with the
example that the writer gives us of how the canals control the waters. This can be
to make our God as long as we are willing to do His will.
In verse 2, we find the kind of people who are always believing that
everything they do is done well therefore they are well before God, these people
They forget that it is God who decides what it is to do good things because He is the one who does them.
accept or reject. Therefore, we as Christians must strive to do
what pleases God because He is the one who judges our intentions.

14
In verse 4 we can learn two things that are sin before God. First of all
it says that the arrogant look is sin (Prov. 21:24) this is being proud in other words
to think that we are better than others when we do this we are saying that
we know more than everyone around us when we think like this it leads us to look at the
others as inferior to us. (Pr. 21:29)6We should never do this.
Christians, because before our God we are equal, this we learn in (Phil. 2:1-8)
Here we can learn that the opposite of having an arrogant gaze is to have a gaze
humble always considered the others as superior to ourselves,
let us remember that if we look with arrogance, we are sinning before our God.
second place in this verse we learn that wicked or bad thoughts are
sin. Therefore, we must always try not to think badly, that is, not to have bad thoughts.
Intentions in verse 8 allow us to learn more clearly what a person does.
who has wicked thoughts, let us always remember that evil thoughts are
sin.
In verse 23 we learn that if we are careful when speaking we will avoid many.
problems with our neighbor this is what we learn in (James 1:19)

Chapter 22

In verse 3 we can see two kinds of men (1) The one who is prudent, a person
What is prudent is that which acts with moderation and sensibility.7A prudent person is
one that is Sensible, Judicious, Cautious, Balanced, Serious, and Reflective8Now well
the same verse explains to us what a prudent person does, it says that this sees
the danger and avoids it. Next, I want us to see an example of a man
prudent, this we can see in (Gen. 39:7-12) Here we can see Joseph, this man is
a beautiful example of a prudent man, because upon seeing danger he decided to avoid it.
Now then, as Christians, we must always be prudent, that is, careful to
always avoid evil. Now let's see (2) the other kind of people who teach us this

we have to teach them the will of our God. In the (See. The Word of God for

Some things we can learn in this chapter

In verses 4 and 5, we can learn that we should not always think about the...
riches of this world or in making ourselves rich because the same verse teaches us that
Riches are not eternal but rather pass quickly. Now let us remember the

In verses 1 and 2 we learn something of great importance for us today. This is

that we should not be envious of those who do evil, because if we are envious,
this will lead us to do what they are doing. That is why in this same verse

humans rejecting this beautiful invitation made on behalf of the King of the universe. I want

In this very verse, it is taught to us that it was the king who took the initiative to make us.

condition with something very disgusting that dogs do, now this same
teaching we can see in (2 P. 2:20-21) This is what many Christians have done
Nowadays. This can happen to us for several reasons (1) For not reading the Bible daily (1
Tim. 4:13) (2) For not applying the Bible when we need it (James 1:22) (3) For
neglecting prayer (1 Thess. 5:17 – Eph. 6:18 – Matt. 26:41) by trusting more in ourselves
the same as in God (Matt. 28:20) (4) For not rejecting friendship with the world (James 4:4)
For these and many other reasons, the Christian may come to be in the condition
learned in the mentioned verses. In verses 20-22, it teaches us that we must
be very careful not to fall into gossip because they are like soft bites and
very tasty but in the end they take us away from the life that our God desires us to live
before Him.

In verse 5 we learn two things of utmost importance for us Christians (1)
