created him; male and female he
created them.

The proverbs of Solomon, son of
David, king of Israel: To know
wisdom and instruction, to
understand words of insight, to

and discretion to the youth— Let
the wise hear and increase in

An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than
jewels. The heart of her husband
trusts in her, and he will have no
lack of gain. She does him good,
and not harm, all the days of her
life. She seeks wool and flax, and
works with willing hands. She is
like the ships of the merchant;
she brings her food from afar. ...
(Proverbs 31:10-31)

(2 Timothy 2:15)
ESV
But understand this, that in the
last days there will come times of
difficulty. For people will be
lovers of self, lovers of money,
proud, arrogant, abusive,
disobedient to their parents,
ungrateful, unholy, heartless,
unappeasable, slanderous, without
self-control, brutal, not loving
good, treacherous, reckless,
swollen with conceit, lovers of
pleasure rather than lovers of
God, having the appearance of
godliness, but denying its power.
Avoid such people. ...
(2 Timothy 3:1-17)
ESV
All Scripture is breathed out by
God and profitable for teaching,
for reproof, for correction, and
for training in righteousness,
