²⁶ My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

² Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

⁹ Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

¹⁰ With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

¹¹ Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

⁵ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

²⁵ Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

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: remove thy foot from evil.

²³ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

3 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

¹⁷ That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

¹⁵ And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
